I'm beginning to wonder what the advantage of installing SP2 is on a fully patched machine, surely all the critical updates will still be released in Windows update? Is it worth messing with the config of the machine that much?
On a side note, I installed an update version of XP on a relatives comp but i couldn't do a full install as she only has an HP recovery version of ME and not an OEM disk. I've been told there is an MS knowledge base article that shows you how to make a bootable CD-R that allows you to do a full install but I can't for the life of me find it on the MS site. Have any of you guys got any experience of this?
