I have just applied Service Pack 2 for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 to my test environment (x64 Windows 2003 running in HyperV). The installation took just over 10 minutes and didn't require a reboot. Everything ran smoothly and my Windows Event logs are not reporting any problems.
You can download the service packs for WSS and MOSS from the links on this blog post

Some of my favourites are:
SharePoint does not allow some field names to be changed to their original values.
Users are not warned when their files exceed the maximum path.
List views fail when they are grouped by calculated fields or by lookups to calculated fields.

Has anyone verified whether this update is compatible with Load Balanced Web Front Ends in a farm? It includes updates from the Infrastructure Update which warned that it can cause problems for the Load Balanced farm.
We installed it this weekend. Seems to be good so far. But be sure to make this change in all event handlers or custom code: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=909455
My upgrades of my Virtual PC 2007 virtual machine from the Microsoft-supplied "MOSS 2007 with SP1" (from MSDN DVD media) to WSS 3.0 SP2 followed by MOSS 2007 SP2 fail consistently when I try to run the Conifguration Wizard (the last couple of steps is where it fails). This is just a demo/learning VM, so I cannot imagine what disaster awaits anyone who tries to apply SP2 in a real environment.
