to be honest windows xp sp2 hasnt brought anything great with it, for starters it has brought problems for many people. when it does work you have the anoying security center, i wonder why the hell windows makes us secure our pc's like that and starts whining when it isnt secure. not like your windows xp has a mind of its own and is afraid of crashing or anything . and dont think microsoft planted any special files on our pc that they dont want stolen. As a user i believe i want to have the own right to protect my pc the way i want (even if that means no protection except for firefox). I know the security center can be disabled but its still there, along with many anoying winxp "user friendly" features. I'd go back to win98SE if it had a decent task/process manager and gui but it doesnt.
