>>I know this is probably a stupid question but why do I need SP2 at all? I don't know exactly what it is supposed to do but I've felt the pain that it can inflict .
The big deal with SP2 is that it includes a collection of fixes for the stupid security holes that MS should not have included in the first place. It also adds a few new things like their security panel (forget the name) which everyone usually turns off and replaces with their 3rd party AV / firewall software since the MS solution can actually reduce security in some cases.
IMO it is worth having.
