.Net SP2

[Robb Bates]

I've noticed many new programs require the .Net Service Pack2. As I recall, WM2003 includes the base version of .NET CF. So in order to use these new programs, I have to install the new service pack. The download for it is something like 14MB. Does anyone know how much room this SP will take up on the PPC? Is it worth it?

If I remeber right it used about 2MB.
Is it worth it? Only if you develop and want to use the apps designed with the .Net CF.

The SP2 download is 14MB, but that's because it contains the upgrades for several different OS/processor combos. The actual install is somewhere less than 2MB.

SP2 is definitely worth downloading, IMO. It's got quite a few bugfixes, which may not be all that visible to you, but ought to be enough reason to download it. It also has performance improvements in several areas as well.
