Reviews of the Microsoft Windows XP SP2
-
CNET Review
The Good: New firewall; pop-up ad blocker for Internet Explorer; new Security Center makes managing security apps easier.
The Bad: Created conflicts with our notebook's wireless connection; some security enhancements won't work with current Intel hardware; firewall lacks important features; download too large for dial-up users, and CDs will take weeks to arrive once they're available.
The Bottom Line: We recommend installing Windows XP SP2 but only after Microsoft has had a few weeks to work out the kinks.
