I've read the posts about SP2 being cumulative, so that you don't need SP1.  
1) My PC manufacturer (HP) has a couple updates that are supposed to be 
installed on a PC with XP and SP1 (Per HP, "These updates are to be applied 
to PCs with Microsoft Windows XP SP1 installed.") . Since these are not 
Microsoft updates, they would not be in SP2. So, in this situation I would 
need to install SP1 first?  (also have question out to HP but their response 
is slowwww.)
2) HP states that SP2 may not install properly without SP 1 already 
installed. Is this "true"?
3) What is SP 1a?
