I uninstalled WinXP Service Pack 2 yesterday, because it was cheaper than buying more RAM (256MB seems to be too little?), and now the whole system runs much faster (ie I no longer have to log on and then go and put the kettle on while I wait for everything to boot up), which was the desired effect.
But am I missing anything MAJOR by not having SP2? The only noticeable differences were the Security Centre (but I use Norton anyway) and the Bluetooth software (but I already had Bluetooth software installed). Oh and the 'Set Program Access Defaults' option has disappeared from the Star Menu, but I can live without that

Any thoughts?
