DO NOT CLICK DOWNLOAD IF YOU ARE UPDATING JUST ONE COMPUTER: A smaller, more appropriate download will be available soon on Windows Update. To receive this download, turn on the Automatic Updates feature in Windows XP to receive an optimized download of SP2. Please visit Protect Your PC for more information on receiving Windows XP SP2.

I updated one of my guinea-pig PC and so far it looks ok... the security features quite annoying but not as annoying as ZoneAlarm.

Best feature? It integrates your existing anti-virus program as part of the security process.

Screenshot later once I find a way to get it off my phone.

As for Bluetooth, disappoint... it lacked support for my MSI. Darn it! I hate the MSI drivers!

Finally, got my MSI Bluetooth to work... require some hacking to the .inf files though... sigh!

A quote from the MSI forum:

"i have a msi 845e max2 blr mainboard with integrated bluetooth. i have got it to work with xp sp2. do the following:

- uninstall previous bt software
- install xp sp2
- make a backup copy of c:\windows\inf\bth.inf
- open c:\windows\inf\bth.inf in notepad
- in section [Cambridge.NT.5.1], add the following line:
MSI Bluetooth= BthUsb, USB\Vid_0db0&Pid_1967
- save the file
- if it exists, delete c:\windows\inf\bth.pnf
- in the device manager, selectyour bt device and choose "reinstall driver"
- windows should find the bt device and install the microsoft drivers. a new bluetooth icon in the notification area
and a bluetooth settings icon in the control panel appear

NOTE: if you have an external msi dongle, the device id might be different. check it in the device mamager under
properties, and change the line you insert in the inf file accordingly. THIS ALSO WORKS FOR MOST OTHER (NON-MSI)
DONGLES"

Yeah baby! SP2's Bluetooth drivers rock! MSI's WIDCOMM sux! :P
