Hi Phillip, The network install is not only for IT pros but individual users as well. The only difference is that with the network install, you get all the patches which have been released ever since Windows XP came out and so the file is 266 mb in size. Where as with automatic updates, windows will check your system to see if you have any updates already installed and downloads only those parts of service pack 2 which are required. If you have the bandwidth, I suggest you download the network install so that you can use it later on if you format the computer and re-install windows XP.
