Although 43% said the SP2 installation had gone without a hitch, 49% of those contributing had problems ranging from minor to severe.

A few contributors said they had to completely rebuild a system before they could get the update to work.

Many others, 30% of those responding, said they had minor problems such as clashes with non-Microsoft browsers or applications

I installed it on one of my computers at home and had no problems... I did take me a few minutes to disable the new windows firewall though. And I don't see any weight to the claims of windows being 'snappier' after SP2, either. Seems the same.
