Preview of SP2 for WinXP
SP2 Beta Overview
Interesting bits:
- Better Internet Connection Firewall
- Improved Wireless Connectivity Management
- Pop-up Management in IE
- Plug-in Installation Control
- Lockdown Feature in Outlook Express
I can think of at least 2 of those features being loooooong overdue, but it looks real good so far.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. -Douglas Adams

Ahhhh lovely & all ... (if they'd done it 'right' we wouldn't need sp2, but never mind ) however the burning question would be When?
(not the beta of an sp, but the flipping thing itself !)

Eudora is my best friend, install it once and you never have to again. simply copy the folder around as you want and all your email and settings are still there - give me that in Outlook express without the vulernabilities and I'll maybe use it again
That's not looking too bad, definately want the wireless stuff. Sod IE though I use Firebird

It looks on the face of it that Sp2 will allow me to say, "Connect to this SSID only."
At least, I think I get that. I'm not sure.
