Anyone here, other than myself, gotten their computers updated to Windows XP Service Pack 2?

Got service pack 4 on Windows 2000. Can't afford to upgrade to XP.

I got my computer setup with Service Pack 2, but that seems to be because I was one of the first to install the beta 2 packs.
My wife's computer has not received the update by MS, yet.

Any noticeable improvements from SP1?
Compatibility problems?
Is it just me? I don't see any options to install SP2 when I run windows update on my PC :confused:

Latest news:
"Microsoft has delayed the automatic distribution of a major upgrade to Windows XP Professional for at least another week."
Go to http://news.google.com search for SP2 and read all about it.
I got the auto-update for my computer because I beta tested SP2. My wife did not, but I downloaded the 266 megabyte SP2 update file from MicroSoft and I updated my wife's computer with it. It's available for those who have more than one computer and need to do network installations.
I haven't seen any of the problems mentioned, but there is a list of programs that will need to be tweaked for them to work with SP2.
Get informed before you update, so it goes easier for you.
Download Service Pack 2 for Network installation from here:
