ME well....I could go on a rant about it but ill put it into two words. DONT DO IT, oh wait that was three. Well so far ive noticed that SP2 has a TCP/IP cap of 10 connections at one time, of course ive heard of a user created patch which ups this to 50. With a cap of 10 connections it limits many P2P programs especially BitTorrent Few other things... -IE has a new popup blocker and much much better security settings, also it shows you all add-ons running in the background, very useful. -Windows XP default firewall seems to have been upgraded. - ive also noticed an overall performance boost. So far SP2 isn't too bad, i haven't experiemented much yet though. |

Originally posted by mrmenzIs that incoming or outgoing connections? Or combined? I haven't heard anything about TCP/IP connections being limited, and I've been reading about SP2 quite heavily lately. Interesting. Anything in particular that seems faster? |

Oh lovely. Yeah, that could limit BitTorrent somewhat, I'd think... How's the firewall? Is it good enough that I can ditch ZoneAlarm or... |

Screw this. Apparentely the patch won't allow you to play DOZENS of games. It hampers the performance of others and ruins the installation of many more. I can't believe that they are also limiting the connections. Way to go MS, you somehow managed to further ruin your reputation. |

I looked at the list quickly and there ARE some glaring issues (NERO?!?), but some of those items are still supported and should be fixed ASAP if they haven't been. THE LIST. |

Oooooof. I think SP2 can wait a while. (Morons.) How do you break AOL, MSN, and Yahoo? | |||

Very carefully. Trillian ISN'T on the list though... and watch that work just fine. To be fair, most of the products that are based online have problems that are fixed through just adding it to the exemption list. |

Edit: But then there seems to be a way around it I hope it works for my programs... But at least, the same thing that stops programs probably hopefully will stop spywares too.

heh...it seems that Service Pack 2 will reinforce why I still have Win98 on my laptop and desktop anyways, i'm surprised many Microsoft programs are effected by this, I wonder why |

Kitten Yiffer: That problem would only occur if you have an A64 processor, or a VERY* recent Prescott P4 (or the new Xeons... but I can't remember the codename ). So, if an application has problems with SP2, and you don't have one of those processors, that workaround won't do anything for you. *: Meaning, the Prescotts that support that particular feature are just now shipping to OEMs, so you can't buy one yet. |
