Seems like a nice update.... I'd love to get rid of all of these Hotfixes in the "Add/remove Programs" list... So messy.

BTW, do new Windows XP CDs include SP1? And will it be the case with SP2?

Now for some replies...

Don't tell me, your Windows XP activation code starts with "FCKGW"? The "GW" in that code stands for "Gates, William", and I think you can guess what the first three letters stand for. Not that I would know anything about it. *whistles innocently*

There's no way on Earth you won't be able to disable the XP firewall and/or use a different firewall. As for pop-up blockers, they weren't popular at all when Windows XP was released. What annoys me is that they include such small and browser-specific features in a huge OS update, instead of releasing IE 6.1 or something. *sigh,* Microsoft's good old economic tactics...
