does every single one of you has service pack 2 installed? if not, is it a bad thing or just neutral? I wanna know, because I'm afraid I don't have it, and I don't want it too. but if it's a bad thing, then maybe I will install it. suggestions? any?

I do, but it took a longggggg time to install

well, sp2 has some fixes that sp1 lacks. however, some people experience problems when upgrading because of hardware driver incompatabilities.

^^ It does take a long time I understand. I'm lucky, my computer already had it. Yeah... you definately want to get it... it has so many great security features. Go to Start > My Computer > Right Click the white area > properties...

It should be something like this:

what's up with your ram? 506 mb? Do you have two 256mb sticks or just one 512?

^^ Manufacturers are too lazy to make the stick of memory the exact amount.

i have sp2.. i pretty much have it because i have 120 gig hard drives and sp1 wont read em :/

i dont have sp2 because if i install it i can get an internet connection .. so i have to keep sp1 .. i mite try downloading it again because like i fixed my internet but if it doesnt work again then i cant

edit // ok i have it now ... my internet works fine noww soo yeah i guess i have it too =)

yup, i have it. i'm kind of indifferent to it, but i would rather have it then not.

er, ithink i have sp2.. but i want to install adobe photoshop cs and it's asking for sv3 or higher.. plus i've upgraded to win 2k.. i think it's not compatible with sp2.

no.. im too lazy to download it =)

they say sp2 isnt all that great. so i kept it sp1

too lazy... hahaah.

It definately slowed down my computer =(
although the wireless configuration is pretty snazzy now

Heh. My computer is running great/safe without the update. Dont plan on updating anytime soon.

I don't know... I think i have service pack 1, cause i don't know what the heck it is... LMAO

why does everyone think Windows is the only thing?
for your info i have Linspire 4.5 (linux)
and Mac Os X tiger

waaah I want Mac OS X

linux didn't recognize my wireless adapter... and after compiling a driver for it, it still didn't recognize. So since I didn't have a use for webhosting or anything else linux is good at, I went back to windows.

which distro did you use?

i upgraded to sp2 for a while and i hated it. it lagged too much. so i downgraded back to sp1.

Have it. Hate it.
Only kept it because one of my tech geek friends said that it was a good idea to keep it. She helped me fiddle with the controls too, so it wouldn't get in the way as much.

im still on SP1 because SP2 is not my thing yet, my friends has it and stuff and im not a big fan, i hate all the security stuff.. im good right now but ill update as soon as i reformat probaly..

Yeah, I have it. It has more security features or something...

too bad alot of hackers know how to bypass those features which makes sp2 useless.

yea, i have it. it said it had new features, fixed up some bugs. blah blah blah

Hm. I don't have it yet. My dad told me to download it more like forcing me. But I hear from of you guys that it's not that good or you guys are lazy hehe I'm lazy too!!! haha. Besides it has lots of megabytes in it. I don't want to waste my megabytes on that. But it also fixed some bugs? really? I didn't know that. Anyways, my dad couldn't do the downloading on the service pack 2 because he couldnt find it and he was late to go and catch his plane to go to korea so yeahh...

i know where it is. he was keep looking it on google, but he doesnt know downloads.com hehe i went there and found it.. it took my dad an hour, but it took me less than a minute lol. feel bad for my dad for looking for that in a sucha hard way heh.

anyways, someone showed the features of the service pack 2...but i have no clue what's good about it. can anyone just tell me the features of this thing? thanks.

^ It has more security features.

am i the only one bothered by the bad grammar in the title?

well normally i would be but it's the internet and bad grammar seems to be a popular trend

SP2 is good!! it fixes most security holes and somehow they just made the wireless icon look slightly better lol
