...why, after reading through this litany of woe and anxiety, is anyine
actually entrusting MS enough to go and download the thing!

I remember reading a couple of months ago how SP2 was likely to break so
many applications/systems and promptly switched all my systems over to
manual which is where they'll stay until the people who created all the
vulnerabilities in the first place find a way of fixing it without making
things worse.

Can anyone tell me, and this is a genuine request, what benefits I would get
from installing SP2 bearing in mind that all my systems have ICF enabled,
zone-alarm, file & printer sharing unbound from tcp/ip, Avast, a whole
collection of anti-spyware tools and a NAT router?

Apart from that all machines here use firefox and only this one uses Outlook
distress, the rest are happily mailing from thunderbird.

So, truly, do I have anything to gain and would it outweigh the possibility,
seemingly large, of having my otherwise perfectly running systems bought to
the floor?

I truly believe that SP2 will do as much for Linux as Internet Explorer has
done to boost useage of mozilla/firefox and other 'safe' browsers.
