It's finally out.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/

I just installed it too, computer hasn't exploded yet...

The email image blocker is good. Most spam companies include images in their emails, and when you load the email the server knows you opened your email and is valid, which opens the gate for more spam.

Internort explorer popup blocker is good, not great. Firefox does it better, and firefox allows you to block images from a domain.

IE hangs more often now too. I think it's time to fully switch over to firefox.
