I'm liking SP2 beta as well. It wouldn't run stable on my laptop, but my desktop has been perfect. The firewall and pop up blocker have worked as they should. I'm hoping the final release will run smoothly on my laptop as well. |

Is the firewall more customize-friendly than the current one built into Win XP? I am looking for results similar to Zone Alarm without the bloat. -- The White House needs to go on the Atkins diet to rid itself of the fat heads ruining our country. |

I'm almost positive that they're referring to Microsoft's "public" browser (IE6 SP1).
Either way, the pop-up blocker was included in the first beta release, back in December. So it's more like six months. |
