    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 6 : Symantec Updates LiveUpdate to work with SP2
    Version 2.5.55.0 update for 32-bit Windows LiveUpdate files. This full version of LiveUpdate includes Enterprise management features that are compatible with the Symantec Enterprise Security Architecture (SESA) v2.0x. Most users of Symantec enterprise products should download and use this version of LiveUpdate. Download: Enterprise Update

    Version 2.5.55.0 update for 32-bit Windows LiveUpdate files. This lite version of LiveUpdate does not include support for the Symantec Enterprise Security Architecture (SESA) v2.0x. Most home users should download this version of LiveUpdate, however the full version may also be used. See the Readme file for more information. Download: Lite Update

    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.
