Well it would be nice to get SP2 soon, but I don't have issues after SP1.

Maybe it will come with some new cool features!

Very very very good news. I'm looking forward to it hoping they will correct the current bugs.

Try TeraCopy for the best copy and move speeds!

Your sig is funny, lol.

Agreed on the x-fer times. I do wish they were faster. I do like that paint saves in JPEG format by default now. Great for screen shots.
