I read about Vista SP2 when it was released and apparently it uses less RAM, the start menu search is faster, and with laptops it uses 10% less battery power and it finds wireless networks quicker. When I installed SP2 I noticed those differences, but I still prefer XP.

ask you a million times if you're sure that you want to install the .exe you just downloaded and then crash.
