I've been using xp sp2 and haven't run into any problems other than that annoying active x thing. Every program I have works with it.

I have been using XP SP2 Beta for quite some time now, and I haven't come across any probs as far as I can tell.

There is a pretty long and detailed thread about this over on DSLReports. From all that I have read this service pack is a very good thing,

This will be a positive impact in the long term for Microsoft if they can pull this off like they say
