XP SP2 and SQL Server

In June, I wrote about the effects that Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) has on SQL Server (see "Windows XP SP2 Defaults Break SQL Server Connections").

Now that XP SP2 is dribbling out through Windows Update and other sources, I want to revisit the topic. XP SP2 has some great new features, such as the easy-to-use Windows Firewall that comes turned on by default.
