One more word of caution, those of you using cracked versions of software, games etc should be a little more careful as these cracked software might not run smoothly on account of a few core changes in the o.s

Jinu: On what do you base that statement?

I don't notice any problems myself with my, err, extended trial software...

many of the cracked software changes registry keys, address various memory locations and with installing sp2 there may be problems, more than software its going to effect the games. And I say "cracked" software not registering with keygens etc, they wont be affected K.

No Killer, there was no spyware on my computer. I did a thorough check thinking it was so myself. I don't remember now what the address was, but it went something like E machine (not the computer company).

As for downloading games and other software; I don't download games and I only download software from trusted sources.

I still believe that this had something to do with XPS2.
