Nothing special this. Just a simple article from Microsoft.com which is a reasonably useful reference for how SP2 is most likely to ruin all your favourite games. It's best to skip the paragraphs about how great DirectX 9 is because they're really very dull.

(PS: See ya gotta keep em interested)

So turn the firewall off if you're behind a router?

heh, FW's are most effective if you're a modem user, once there's a NAT gateway between you and the outside world, the 'threat factor' drops by a HUGE margin.

I was expecting to read about some kind of software incompatibility, but as others have pointed out - it's just information regarding the firewall, which is turned on by default as of SP2.

I guess they have to word all that stuff in billy basic language to help the n00bs (the exact sort of people who get these damn worms & trojans in the first place).
