I was surprised, too. I did all my homework. Looked at the application compatibility list and made sure I was clean. What I wasn't expecting was SP2 to break a WIRELESS NETWORK DRIVER! Yup, D-Link wireless cards break when you install SP2. If you reconfigure it, it will work 'till the next reboot, then stop again. This isn't documented on Microsoft's compatibility list.
