Default Results from Testing XP SP2

2) Prompts users to choose a couple of options during installation/reboot - haven't checked for switches yet to disable this from a command-line installation initiation.

I'll be updating this throughout the next couple of days, including specific applications and compatibility issues. Oh, and I didn't actually notice a speed increase over our usual XP SP1a loads.

just installed it on the new pc I'm making... went in perfect and things seem to be running fine.

I like the more attention to security they have that I've seen so far.
