Uhh, if you don't know enough to shut off Windows Firewall and use a REAL one, then SP2 is the least of your worries.

The firewall incorporated into Windows XP SP2 is better than nothing, and for the majority of users, it's a good idea.

If you know what you're doing, the best thing is to have a hardware firewall, and then you can disable the Windows Firewall completely. This isn't an option for everyone, especially those on dial-up or technically challenged. I think it's the start of a good trend for MS to be incorporating such things into the OS.
