I agree with you Peerless.I've had XP SP2 onboard for 3 weeks now and no problems either with auto update firewall etc enabled or disabled and my existing Limewire hasnt defaulted nor has any other software I have currently installed.Infact if anything even now in it's n00b status , SP2 is far more stable than SP1 or SP1a,though I found the following article quite interesting...
