So far, so good, it's a LITTLE 'touchy' on apps that use "in-memory decompression" (many of mine do for instance) while starting to run (compressed executables), so, I had to add them to the Control Panel-> SYSTEM ICON -> Advanced -> Performance Groupbox Settings -> Data Execution Prevention "exceptions list", but other than that? Smooth sailing...
Some "FYI" for Windows Server 2003 & it's SP #1 upgrade, SP #2's not looking bad @ all so far!

P.S.=> I bet that pretty soon, we won't see that many monthly updates anymore, not for the Operating System's themselves @ least... I give it to the end of 2007 personally, just on a guess/bet... apps though? We'll see those for a LONG while... imo, 2-3 years before they are "bulletproof & bugfree" on a guess on that one too! apk
The applications like IE & Office Suite, will take a great deal longer to fix though, imo @ least.
