I did windows update for the first time in awhile and it asked me to DL XP SP 2, isn't there issues with it?

Has anyone dl'ed and had any problems? I am wondering if I should dl and install it or wait. Need some opinions on people who have gotten it or heard anything about it.

My firewall is enabled, net runs fine, it asks me on certain programs if i want to unblock it from being firewalled, which i like so i can pick and choose at times or totally unblock it.

Well I figure since I run Zone Alarm (and have for awhile now), there is no need to run Windows firewall, too. Besides, they would probably conflict with each other. ZA also asks permission to allow something to access the internet. Or when something from outside tries to access. I was amazed when I first started using it that there were many attempts from outside. Haven't noticed any outside attempts in a long time, though.

If you are using a beta version with reset5, SP2 will set you on a 30 day activation and uninstall and restore will not help. You will have 30 days to buy winxp, period. If you try to run reset5 with sp2 installed your HD is trash and will need a complete format.

This is not true. It will install and run fine on a pirated copy. A little bird told me so.
