"Windows XP SP2 probably has more bad press than its
actual reputation warrants.  In my shop we are deploying 
it without problem or fanfare; only a couple of non-critical
applications have been affected by it."

My company is going with SP2 as well as it resolves many security concerns.  We 
have 600,000+ pc's world wide.

The only issue is that SP2 cannot automatically configure itself for many of 
your old non-Micropsoft applications.  This is where the most complaint is 
coming from.

You will likely need to change how the firewall works.  I found that I needed 
to shut off the virus software monitoring on my home computer (XP Pro) also.

Aside from that, no problems encountered.
