SP2 on two laptop pc.s
Just finished SP2 instal on my daughters' laptop pc.s. (2 of). Both work fine. Took patience, but you are warned of that. So far, re-starts seem to be slower than before, and IE8 seems to be no different.......that is, it is too slow. Firefox seems to be OK with SP2.
Both required a long de-frag following SP2 installation. If you can afford the time for de-frag, I imagine it will be worth it............altho' as I did it by habit, I don't have real evidence for that.
Fortunately, my desktops are both XP, so no Vista grief there, (other than foolishly adding IE8 to one of them, as it is much slower than 7)..
