I installed when it first came out, everything worked fine except internet connection speed was slow as hell. No one had a clue so I uninstalled it.
2 weeks ago, I found out that I had to uninstall IE6 and reinstall it after SP2 was installed.
So I did

I restart PC and get bleuscreen of hell...
Somehow when I deleted IE6, I also deleted vital .exe and .dll files.
I had to buy a new PC, put in the old hard drive in the new PC, take ownership of all files that were locked and copy them in new hard drive. Then put back hard drive in old PC, reformat and re-install everything

Now it works like a charm, but had I known what was ahead of me, I would not have installed it.
