SP2 or not SP2?

The Windows update balloon on my primary desktop PC has unobtrusively, yet persistently, asked me if I wanted to install Windows XP SP2 for some time now.

I've had it on my laptop, which I use for email/IM/websurfing primarily, and it seems to be OK. But I've been loath to put it on my desktop, where I do my coding/photo editing/video editing/gaming... just some of the horror stories I've read on various sites give me the creeps. At work, we've been told NOT to install it, because it breaks various tools we use to build our code. Things like that don't exactly boost my confidence.

So... any success or failure stories related to SP2 that you care to share?

the firewall feature is pretty much useless in my eyes. it seems like you're just asking for more trouble if you turn it on.


other than that, the only cool thing that i've noticed (in the several months beta testing sp2 at sony) is the new wireless interface. it's just a tad bit nicer than its predecessor.

I almost installed it by accident.
