People will always use Betas LOL I know I used to grab betas and install them as they were released. Learnt my lesson the hard way so now I always leave it to the individuals to decide if they want to take the risk of de-stabilising their PCs and potentially losing any data they haven't backed up.

I am on the beta test program for SP2. Microsoft released "Release Candidate 1" a couple of days ago, so the final version will probably be ready in about 1 or 1.5 months (my estimate based on past experience, not actually based on released dates).

I personally haven't found any problems with SP2, but it does make some major changes to the system, so I would not advise installing a beta unless you are willing to spend time repairing your system. The only problem I did find is that my Phone software (software supplied with P800) would not connect to my phone using the early betas. This seems to have been fixed now.


There are nice features though, such as pop up blocking in IE, Automatic Updates being on by default, and a new Security Advisor which checks you have Auto Update (might be wrong about this, I am not at home to check) turned on, have a firewall & antivirus software running. If you don't, you get nagged.

does SP2 include proper bluetooth support scastle?

Re: xpsp2..
 

It does support Bluetooth. I couldn't tell you how well it works though, as I have my bluetooth adaptor at work. Could never get it working on my PC at home..

Re: xpsp2..
