1 in 3 might be expected to mis-behave but I've installed it on 4 so far without hitch, maybe it's due to those PCs not being overly cluttered with installs, background apps etc. I installed it on my pc before a clean install and it still behaved itself even though I have installed a number of beta releases since I last clean installed XP. We know there are people out there seeing problems with SP2, we know that some of the issues are directly caused by SP2 not interfacing well with some applications and drivers. We should not, however, blame MS and SP2 for every little problem that PC users have. A lot of the time it's a case of PEBCAK, as a lot of us know
All I can say is that not installing SP2 can be a big mistake for some users as they aren't even aware of the necessity of a firewall and
do need their hands holding by MS for the sake of all users of the internet that no not want virus and spam being proliferated by people who cannot protect their pcs effectively due to lack of awareness, lack of knowledge or lack of ability
