In my opinion, SP2 is a great upgrade.
However, also in my opinion, Microsoft was too confident (incorrectly,
as it turned out) that virtually no users would have any major problems
with it.
In Microsoft's defense, the amount of testing that they did was
unprecedented, and I don't think that there is anything more that they
could have done to have made this release more "problem free". Part of
the "problem" is that the user base is not "techies", and doesn't even
know what a BIOS, Prescott or Firewall are, much less how to use any of
them.
The lesson here is that you just can't release an upgrade of this
magnitude which is going to be so problem free for everyone that you
should go out and tell the entire world to just turn on automatic
updates and get it automatically. Hopefully, this is a lesson that MS
has now leared as well.
