Well my own experience with SP2 went somewhat like this.

Usually I have my WinUpdates set to "Notify, but do not download or install"

After reading that SP2 was finally released but only for "Automatic Updates" I waited few days and then set my WinUpdates to automatic.

Lo and behold, last night it installed.

However, upon reboot it came up in chunky 640x480. Taking a quick look in DeviceManager there was NO display adaptor listed at all !!!!

Ho hummm so after a bit of fiddling around I finally resorted to using System Restore and rewinding back to before SP2.

Nothing like so called updates that mess with settings they have need messing with.
