Yeah, probably. When I installed SP2, the first reboot took a long time, but all subsequent boots were normal.

Yeah, but I once encountered the problem that the boot took a very long time.
I think either Matty or EvilSeph or someone mentioned this.

The first long boot would be quite normal. It is part of the install process; only after a reboot certain things can be installed/set up....

Other then that, I had also a fear of upgrading to SP2 after reading all these negative reports on the net. Well, I must say, it went as smooth as a baby's bottom....

XP SP2 is performing very good without a single glitch or any speed decrease....

Are you making clean reinstalls?

If you have more than one partition a good idea would be leaving your current Windows as it is and installing XP SP2 in another partition. I did it this way so I could have my old one if something went wrong, but XP SP2 works perfect here.

I had so much problems with sp2, i had to uninstall it :/ Would take like 3 days to connect to a website ... (ok maybe not 3 days, but long enough )

I had no problems with it on a 1~2 year old install. Now I made a clean install with SP2 integrated in the setup files and works fine too.
