ML, Only you can decide if it is really necessary. If you have a computer
that is never connected to the Internet, I suppose it is not necessary. If
you have a computer that even only occasionally is connected to the Internet
or to other networks, my opinion is, yes, it is necessary. SP 2 provides
much better security and other enhancements. I sure do not remember all
this fuss over SP 1 which also had some minor compatibility problems. If
you do not remember downloading and installing SP 1, then you purchased your
Windows XP after it was released and it was already on your system. Yet, I
bet your system run most programs just fine with this prior major update
installed. I believe the compatibility problems will not be fixed in
another release release of SP 2 but in patches from Microsoft or the program
writers. In other words, the way I see it, by waiting you will have to
install SP 2 plus patches in the future or you can install SP 2 now and
perhaps patches in f you
need
them later. You can choose not to install SP 2 if you comfortable with the
security and stability of your system. I think most people ware not
comfortable.
