RE: SP2, the Nightmare on Windows St.

Exactly. You have pulled oout one of the big offenders. Remember most people won't even know it is being downloaded and installed. And definately what M'soft did was to bundle in inferior versions of much better available products, such as Norton. Predatory practices. Don't give the customer a choice, install it behind their back and auto-enable it. Why should anyone spend more on Norton now? IE, Media Player.... Sounds familiar?

Look at how Outlook killed so many GOOD PIMS.

There is no doubt that an experienced computer tech like yourself could make SP2 function. But most of the patches and changed default settings, you've probably already done as you went along. The problem program like their firewall you won't install.

It'd didn't download in the background and autoinstall with defaults on your PC.
