Item 5 : TCP/IP connections
Many, many users are reporting problems with SP2 limiting outbound TCP/IP connections. This appears to be nailing anyone who makes heavy network use of their machine, including especially users running P2P applications
EventID 4226 patcher - After almost everybody knows the [EventID 4226: TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts].

Item 7 : The problem with Windows XP SP2 & DIVX
- The DivX problem is going to be repeated on quite a few applications. Anything that generates machine code into a memory buffer and then calls it will be hit, until the authors modify their software to tell Windows what they're doing. The calls for this have existed since the introduction of the Win32 API - it's just that until now, nothing went wrong if you didn't use them.

Item 12 : Windows XP SP2 and Prescott CPU Compatibility Issues?
Warp2Search is reporting that there are possible issues with Windows XP builds after installing SP2. While using Prescott core CPUs, as soon as they install SP2 and reboot, the system hangs at the Windows splash screen. Changing the CPU to a non-Prescott version corrects the problem.
