Got mine today too, what was that less than a week?
I don't think I'm ready to install it yet though.

I got and waited a few days to install. I made a fresh ghost image of my boot drive and installed. So far, so good. All my programs seem to work. It does seem a little faster.

WOW!!

I just got my SP2 CD Today, it took less than a week! :thumbsup:

A lot better than the 4-6 weeks MS tells you. Thought I'm not going to be applying it until Divx releases a patch for their Divx plug-in, as I use it a lot.

THANKS OP! :thumbsup::cookie:

Why don't you obtain a legal copy and then you won't have to worry about it? :roll:

I got mine a few days after the initial post...thanks. I installed it on one of my systems last night, of course I Ghosted the drive first. Reading the different forums I was concerned that things could be broken once installed and rebooted. The system was an ABiT VP6 based platform, running XP Pro and NortonSystem Works Pro 2003. No real issues yet, in fact it was rather painless. I'm going to wait a bit before doing the other systems and get some experience with this first.

Thanks again for the post.

This new pack does not work well for my HP laptop + MSN wireless card. I had to spend 45 mins with tech support to get it working....

Got mine today and ordered it on the day this post was initially made. However, I'm not installing it untill some of the bugs are worked out as even Windows Update has the SP2 Service Pack removed from their site, atleast when I do windows update it does not show up.

They're not going to change a service pack after it's release. I don't know what you guys are so afraid of and think they're going to change.
