Am I wrong or we're talking three or four reboots here instead of one?

- Uninstall IE -> Reboot 1
- Install SP2 -> Reboot 2
- Install IE 7 again -> Reboot 3
- Install IE 7 hotfixes(?) -> Reboot 4(?)

Why couldn't the folks at MS work on something as simple as making sure it
is possible/supported to apply SP2 with IE 7 installed?!?!

It doesn't make sense, IMHO...
