    No, not now anyway The way of businesses that know what they're doing - don't jump onto the latest service packs as soon as they come out, let other people do that and laugh at their miseries and problems until the bugs get ironed out and you know it's acceptably stable and safe enough to use yourself, assuming it ever reaches that stage

    The bugs, the extra load times, the worthless extra features that bloat the system. No thank you. It's bad enough running XP out of the box.

    my machine prompted me to install SP 2 yesterday. I said "no" and it gave me this forlorn "you don't love me anymore?" error message.

    I installed a beta a while ago. There's a lot of annoyances, but if you know how to turn them off, they're not too bad.

    Did it and it mucked up my anti-virus, also it has a massive virus hole in it that allows images on webpages to be images.

    I didn't download it because I was told it made my life sloooow. I'm already on dial up, on a mediocre laptop. I don't need my life to be any slower than it already is.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I had SP 2 on my system for awhile and I never had problems at all, but Bleys said I still have a chance to uninstall it so I did so.

    I hope there's something wrong with that sentence and it's not just me losing intelligence.
