My system is up to date, except that I have not downloaded and installed IE-8. MS has not offered me SP-2 via the automatic update process. Is there a connection between those facts? Must I download and install IE-8 in order to be offered SP-2 via the automatic update process?

Doubtful when you consider that IE8 is available for XP.

If not, I wonder has SP-2 been offered to all Vista users yet?

Insight appreciated.

Patience is a virtue. You can download it from Micro$lut.com if you're in a hurry.
