Well i installed it and i must say what a big improvement it is. Computer seems faster, i like the security centre and the pop up blocker is a definate improvement. If however you do not want the security centre to pop up everytime you log on to you user account in XP, follow these steps:

1) Click Start
2) Click on Control Panel
3) Double click on Administrative Tools
4) Double click on Services
5) Scroll down the list untill you see something called security centre
6) Right click on this and click Properties
7) In the Startup Type box select Manual
8) Click Apply
9) Click OK

Got the Service Pack this morning. I like the extra security stuff, although it's gonna take a while to get my head around it

Looks like M$ have put some effort into this SP - they have had 2.5 years to work on it though !!!

I have now upgraded to SP2 and I have got to say that the securtiy stuff is annoying me already.

It is stopping all graphics in my OE inbox and the popup stopper is waaay too agressive for me. Now, where's that hammer...

:lol:
