Reports have been coming out about (here and here) problems and security holes with Windows XP, SP2. In fact, one reporter wrote, "Did Microsoft bungle SP2's debut? With my columnist hat on, I can give you an unqualified yes." What did this columnist expect? There is no way that all the issues could be fixed with one SP. In fact, I don't know of a single person who ever said that SP2 would fix every issue now and into the future. I stand by my previous statements that XP2 fixes lots of things and you should seriously consider installing it.
