Windows XP SP2 on CD

Don't have a high speed connection, or just want to have a back up copy of XP Service Pack 2 ready for whenever you need to do a Windows reinstall? Microsoft is now sending out free CD's, no shipping or anything required. Not a bad deal at all. There has been a lot of talk of possible compatibility problems after installing SP2. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Really, the only difference externally is the new firewall and security center. By default, they really bug you if your security isn't up to par. I actually like the fact that the firewall is automatically turned on. I made sure to promptly turn off the firewall and virus protection monitoring. But the average person would never worry about these things until there computer is messed up and they call tech support. Now they have a nag. :)
