Windows NT SP2

Has anybody upgraded to SP2 and was it easy/successful/worth it? I keep getting update reminders but I've heard some worrying things about SP2 - such as networking not working (we have a networked laptop) and other things so have been a bit reluctant to do it.

Ta in advance

If it's a wireless laptop SP2 is a lot better.

I didn't have any problems with it. I would go for it

Yeah Carole, before it begins it give you the option to backup files that will be changed.

I've got it on my two home computers and my laptop, haven't seen any difference really, no problems either.

SP2 is certainly better for wireless networking and bluetooth. I think there is native USB2.0 support too.

There is nothing really different from a user point of view. It just fixes problems (apparently )

I might have a go at installing it. Our PC and laptop are both set up for wireless networking.

Do one at a time Carole so if you have any problems you can still get on the interweb to find a solution
