Haven't installed Service Pack 2 for Windows XP yet... well there are some good reasons why not to yet as some software packages are having problems, but I am sure the dust will settle sooner than later. So while you are waiting you might want to order your free CD from Microsoft. Microsoft was offering this deal when SP2 first came out and for some reason they made it disappear from the site. Anyways, it is back again on the site and I for one will download it once, but like to have it on hand for the next time I am rebuilding my PC. Especially, with SP2 for Windows XP being between 75 and 272 MBs in size based on whether you have been keeping up with updates.

Autodesk announces that AutoCAD 2005 and AutoCAD LT 2005 work with Windows XP SP2
Get updated and be more secure today. Before you use any software service pack or patch in a large or even small company make sure you test and test it before delivering it to everyone. You may also want to check with your software vendors to make sure there are no issues with their software and Windows XP SP2.
Sincerely,

I've been running SP2 with ADT 2005, now with ADT SP1, and had no problems so far. From what I've heard the problems are mostly due to cookie blocking and more aggressive firewall setting defaults in XPsp2.
DWF Viewer has had an update to 5.0.0.521 to work post Sp2. I believe the issue was something to do with the DWF control when embedded in web pages not the viewer itself.
