It's a free update for Windows XP users, and it's free. It's said to protect your computer even more than before.

Here for more info.

And here as well.

Why wouldn't it be free?

One thing is sure, I won't install it right away. Why?

Combitiality. (spelling?) I heard that SP2 have some issusues with older programs. I want my programs to work after it's released. I probably just do some research first.

The last SP had some problems with certain computers I heard. So i'm little careful...

Correcting security flaws, but I doubt it will correct them all. I may even create new ones. That remainds me that I should get WinXP. And shouldn't this be in Hardware/Software ?

I was thinking about posting this thread there, but since almost all the memebers hit the Gen Chat forum more than the other, I thought it would be better to post it here so those who do not know about this Service Pack, will.

What kind of compatibility issues? I recall I had one with Rollercoaster Tycoon for Windows XP, but I can't remember the compatibility mode that I'm supposed to run it in anyway... Will there be other problems with it like this?

I use 98. ME is freaking horrible, and 95 is only somewhat better.. but I have zero problems with 98 (aside from programs which detect 98 and go "no! can't install unless you have XP!")

The XP SP 2 causes some compatability problems with software, since they change things ALOT .. it's more of an "Upgrade" than what a traditional service pack might entail....

You may consider holding off for a month or two to wait for various vendors to get fixes into their drivers and API's

Not ALLOWED? Things like this are meant to be broken (so you have to buy a new one)

I might wait a little bit... I heard something about non-approved Microsoft keys not being able to access Windows Update.

Now if that's untrue, then I'll just wait until I hear everyone "gush" over it.

Microsoft Service Pack 1.5 doesn't allow you to play C&C Generals.

I'm just going to assume that, you know, this will do equal damage.
