Hi

And this was said about SP3 and SP2 and <fill in any service pack to
any MS OS here> as well. By listening to all those advises you would
end up not installing any service pack ever ;-)

For most computers, a SP install will go well, but of course, some
computers will get into trouble.

We have installed SP4 on thousands of computers, and only a few
had issues afterwards.
