He's just spreading FUD. I have been running SP2 since the early public beta
releases (RC1 and beyond). It's now installed on 5 computers under my control,
using a variety of hardware, and I have not had a single problem with it.
Sure, security is a little tighter, and doesn't always wook with
*poorly-written* applications (those that bypass the Windows API, etc.). But
it's a far cry to claim "SP2 was known to be defective, has numerous bugs".
