There are actually three versions of this Service Pack that should be linked to here: Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (x86), Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (x64), and Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (x64). The reason for this is that the 64-bit version of XP is actually built on the Server 2003 codebase.
That issue aside, XP x64/Server 2003 has been the most stable Microsoft OS I have ever used. Even in the beta/RC stage I have had no problems with it (something I can't say for another new OS coming out in January).
If you run Server 2003 and/or XP Pro x64, this is definitely a worthwhile update to your operating system. It is a bit faster than SP1, and even more stable. I can't really knock it at all.

Note: THIS IS ALSO FOR WINDOWS XP x64 EDITION!!!!
Why do people always forget that?! Betanews and others should list it as Windows XP x64/Server 2003 x64 Service Pack 2 or something!
Its only the x64 edition that this applies to of course!
Yes, all the server 2003 x64 updates are for Windows XP x64 as well. When installing this update is actually says Windows x64 Service Pack 2 which is a more apt name.
Rock solid 5 stars from me.
Please get the listing changed so its correct!
