I've noticed one small problem with XP SP2 on XPHE. I have attempted this on XPPro yet. This system has Norton Internet Security on it and after I installed SP2 Norton asked whether or not it should report its status to Windows Security Center. Norton recommended not to which I figured is just going to be confusing to this user so I chose to report the status. However with the Security Center Alert setting set to report if the AV is up to date when it first starts it momentarily warns that the computer is at risk because Norton is not turned on. It then goes away as Norton finishes loading. Bad news for the unknowing user. So I turned of the alert for AV and it doesn't do warn about it anymore. So basically it sounds like the security center is loading first - which is fairly stupid since it, in and off itself is not going to do anything but give warnings. Anyone else have issues like this?
