Downloaded and deployed SP2 RTM yesterday. Unlike the RC2 version, this version installed without a hitch. Also, the security features that seemed too intrusive in RC1 have become less so.(RC2 never would install on my system so I can't speak for it).
WindowBlinds is running without problem. (But I had it installed already and deployed SP2 as an update rather than doing a new, clean XPSP2 installation). All the other Stardock apps are also running without a problem.
NAV and NIS are running smoothly. I have no real interest in the planned Symantec update to allow Windows XP Security center to monitor my Symantec products. I switched off the monitoring feature as I prefer to monitor those things myself, thank you very much.
Aside from the above mentioned apps, the other software on my system includes: Corel Graphics Suite 11, Easy CD creator 5 Platinum, IsoBuster, Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8, Logitech iTouch Software and Mouseware, Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 Small Business, Nero Burning Rom 6, Norton Utilities 2002, Power DVD, PartitionMagic 8, Quicken XG(Quicken 2004), Window Washer 5.5.
Here is a list of my hardware and system specs.
ASUS P4P800-VM w/Intel 865g chipset Motherboard
Intel Pentium 4 3.0C GHz s478 512KB L2 800FSB Processor
Kingston Ram DDR400 (1 Gigabyte at 2 x 512 sticks)

WD 40g HD
Liteon SHOW-1213S 12x DVD+R 8x DVD-R
LG CD-RW/DVD-ROM DRive
Onboard video (Intel Extreme Graphics2)
Onboard audio (SoundMax Digital Integrated Audio)
OnBoard LAN (Intel Pro/100 VE)
AS I said, all is working fine. RC2 gave me a scare when it refused to install on my system, but the RTM gave me no installation problems.
My recommendation is to update to this at your own convenience. However, in another thread, I was accused of "talking out of my A..." , so maybe you should pay no attenditon to what I say.
