    Probably completely unrelated, and Googling has found similar complaints across all recent MS OSs, but I keep getting errors and/or corruption in the MS Kernel for Audio, to the point where, even after multiple re-installations of sound hardware, the device manager shows my hardware "working" but that never translates into applications having working sound. Makes it just a bit tough for me.

    I know that most of SP2 were security changes/ The (pre-SP2) migration to Firefox means I don't really see those changes too often. I do have to say that for the installed userbase I am familiar with (coworkers in the offices), SP2 seems to be a bit more robust, but only time will tell.
