Thanks Rho_1r.

My point is that I DON'T want the thing. I don't/won't have much choice but
to deal with the fiasco on other systems that I deal with but on my two
'home use' systems it *will not* be installed for as long as I can put it
off.

My fear is that some day, in the future, I'll do a clean install of one of
my OSs and not be able to get sp1 and it's subsequent updates stopping short
of sp2.
