V_F, I was just thinking the same thing. I added the IE and XP Pro Services Packs and the performance of the OS just doubled. I highly recommend it. If you are running TGTSoft StyleXP, I did get an error that it may not work. Seems to be working fine though.

Does anybody know how to perform a full download of IE6 SP1 ? It was configurable in previous versions, but now that option is gone.

Okay, found out about it, in case someone else wants to know : Make a folder "c:\Downloads", download the setup-prog there and then goto Start--> Run and >"C:\Downloads\ie6setup.exe" /c:"ie6wzd.exe /d /s:""#E"
