Win 2K Service Pack 2

Clean install on 2 PCs in the last week. Maybe just lucky, but SP2 seems to be a bit more stable than SP1 for me.
 


<< But if you end up installing new hardware, the dirvers won't be updated unless you reapply the service pack, or the drivers had been slipstreamed into the install. >>



Also patently false.

W2K, unlike NT4, keeps track of what newer drivers are available from Service Packs that have been installed. If you apply SP2 and then later add a device to your computer that has a driver in SP2, W2K will find the driver from SP2.

You should NEVER have to reapply a Service Pack under W2K! 🙂
 
Yet another vote for SP2! Not a single glitch since installing it.
I'm going to see how long I can leave this box on now.
 
I've got SP2 installed in Windows 2000 Pro, and it works just fine. Only issue is the Radeon OpenGL driver is fubar, but I don't think that's the fault of SP2. 🙂

Edit: I must be really sleepy tonight, I forgot that I already posted to this thread 😀
