Legacy application (www.webopedia.com) and peer to peer (www.wordiq.com).
Peer to peer programs are used by people sharing files over the internet. With such a program I can download files from a specified folder on your computer and vice versa. Typical files that are often shared are music and video files.

To the contrary, running correctly configured apps such as those mean that SP2 is a why-bother. I'm sure not gonna update

Firewire ( . theinquirer . net/?article=17794" target="_blank">www . theinquirer . net) slowdowns to 100Mbits/s .

DivX ( . theinquirer . net/?article=17782" target="_blank">www . theinquirer . net) issues .

If you really must keep up with the Jonse's back-up your important data or better still image the whole sheebang and store it in a safe place as Elephant has done . If you have up-todate AV, firewall, Adaware, Spybot, etc, and no serious issues with the current setup of XP on your system it would be advisable, IMO, to hang back for a little while . If you do have serious issues, make sure you have a good idea what is causing them and whether SP2 is likely to rectify or exacerbate them .
