I went to the Microsoft SP2 page and downloaded SP2 onto my computer. No problems so far. The firewall ask me if I wanted to keep a block or two and I said to let them through as I have a gamer on this computer.I have had no complaints from my son who plays starcraft and etc. on this computer. I also put SP2 on his computer and he hasn't complained about that yet.
I did notice something interesting though. When I went to Control Panel, add/remove programs, I found my endless stream of "Hotfix SP1" lines were all gone and only a clean little line that says "SP2".
What I want to know is this: Will SP2 CD be usable on those pesky FCKCW CD key? Does SP2 have everything that was in SP1 and everything since then? If I were to install an older version of Windows XP and then just used the SP2 CD, would I be right up to date, so to speak?

I'm told yea ... SP2 is all inclusive (has everything including SP1).
