Two news items/comments related to SP2 were interesting. The firewall doesnt block outbound traffic http://blogs.zdnet.com/index.php?p=285 and intel processors dont have the necessary architechture to take advantage of some important security features.
We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

Just to let you know - and I do know Asher said differently - but I have heard reports that SP2 could make your XP box useless if your copy is illegal.
Aher: any comments on that? Not that would that interest me of course.

Last I heard, it would work on pirate versions since it would be beneficial to everyone to have less unpatched systems in the world.Comment

What would it do? Flash your bios? Install Magic Lantern on it?
Anything to prevent you from simply reinstalling the illegal copy again? (Or, Linux?
)

You can install SP2 on pirated copies, MS is more concerned people are safe believe it or not...
Or you can listen to Natlinasmpf, format your drive, install Linux, cry, beg for mercy, and put Windows back on, then cry about your lost data, then curse Linus Torvalds."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Of course Linux users can get it to work, if they couldn't, they wouldn't be Linux users.

cry, beg for mercy, and put Windows back on, then cry about your lost data,
Actually, I never did that.
I just freed up the stupid FAT32 space taken up by Windows and converted it to Linux reiserfs. Now that I have SMAC for Linux, I no longer have to dual boot anymore.Arise ye starvelings from your slumbers; arise ye prisoners of want
