thanx for the info
just to let you know that if you haven't got a bona fida copy of xp, this will sp will f u c k you
At this point all it looks for are two banned keys (details are on this board)
They keys are easily changed ;)
What they'll come up with in the future is anyone's guess.
Personally I, along with a lot of others have been using the Sp-1 for a number of months and all is fine...so far :)

So sit's safe to install it on all our *cough*legit*cough* copies?
I started installing the beta's about 2 months ago and I installed the final vers 1106 to a fresh install about 2 weeks ago (using a safe key - not the FCKGW one). With all the Sp-1's I've installed I've had no problems whatsoever in fact the final 1106 one speeds up XP noticeably on my system.
I also know several people who've installed 1106 SP-1 on a system with a changed key and they're happy aswell Rude. Having said that there are people who've had issues with it - just like there are some who have a nightmare with XP in general and some who love it.
Personally I don't know if M$ are gonna use this to somehow crack down on dodgy copies but right now I'm very happy with it personally ;)

Is the SP worth it?....to my knowledge all it does it lets you use other progs instead of the default MS ones...
Any other changes? or any security updates not available on Windows Update?
In theory it rolls several updates / security fixes into one package aswell as allowing certain programs to be removed more easily etc.
As I said it can also speed up XP.
**** it, I'm not spending hours downloading it just to uninstall it if it don't work.
Been meaning to format for a while now too, so will do that soon and then install with a proper Key.
