I've got XP2 on my machine and all my tech's have it.  It's XP
SP1+hotfixes upgraded to SP2, but we experienced no problems and we've
revised a few of our Dell images with clean installed of XP with
slipstreamed SP2, simply because I prefer a clean load.

I disable the firewall and security center via GPO which have been the
only big gotcha's for us.

I have a slew of machines off domain that have been pulling SP2 off
windows updates over the past weeks.  No issues with these machines
either, aside from us having to talk people through disabling the
firewall an the security center's annoying notifications.

Subject: [THIN] OT: WinXP Service Pack 2

Hello, List.

Still testing away on this workstation image.  It is currently Windows
XP service pack 1 + hot fixes.  I'm thinking we might want to deploy it
with service pack 2 from the get go.

Can anyone site some potential caveats with this SP? anything you would
deem a show-stopper?  Or is service pack 2 endorsed by the venerable
THIN List?

I value your opinions...

Thanks,
Christopher Wilson
