Excellent list!

What conflict are you seeing with the SP2 firewall? I'm not aware of any.
The Help file does detail firewall settings it says are necessary with that
firewall, but I have never made those settings and every one of the three
dozen machines I have this running on has that firewall installed and
active, and, in some cases, locked down (i.e. no exceptions.)
 
I have no problems either and I'm running XP SP2, and all of what you have
listed is on schedule for beta 2.

FireWall solution at the moment:
Potential issue with network connectivity and Windows Firewall when removing
some programs that install a layered service provider
Some programs install layered service providers (LSPs) on computers to
gather data on your Web browsing and network activity. When you use Windows
AntiSpyware to help remove these programs, it also removes the LSPs. In some
cases Windows AntiSpyware does not properly restore the LSP configuration
data.



If this happens, you may find that your computer is unable to connect to the
Internet or your network. You may also see an error message stating that
Windows cannot start Windows Firewall service or the Internet Connection
Sharing (ICS) service.



To resolve this problem, you need to use Windows to rebuild the LSP
configuration data. The following steps apply if you are running Microsoft
Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2).



To use Windows to rebuild the LSP configuration data

1. Log on to your computer with an account that is part of the
Administrators group.
2. Open a command prompt window. To do this, click Start, click Run, type
cmd, and click OK.

3. At the command prompt, type netsh Winsock reset and press ENTER.
4. When the Winsock reset is finished, The command window shows the
following message:
Successfully reset the Winsock Catalog. You must restart the machine in
order to complete the reset.
If you see this message, restart your machine.

If you are not logged in with an administrator group, you will receive the
following error message:
Unable to reset the Winsock Catalog. Access is denied.
If you receive this message, log off of your computer, and log on with an
account that is part of the Administrators group. Repeat steps 2-4.

5. After you restart your computer, see the KB article at
support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;892350 for more information.


In some instances third-party applications can be affected while connecting
to the Internet or network after you follow these steps. If you notice that
third-party applications are not properly accessing the Internet or network,
you should reinstall the application to restore network functionality.


If you are running any other version of Microsoft Windows, see the KB
article at support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;892350 for information about
how to resolve this problem.
 
Might as well add a quick winsock fix tool within the
program instead of having to do the netsh winsock reset.
Not everyone that just started to use teh MS Antispyware
tool knows about that trick. It would be a nice addition
to the tool.
 
Then microsoft should really work, find a way to make
Microsoft Antispyware properly restore the LSP
configuration data or just add a winsock repair tool.
