convince me to take the plunge

I’ve jumped out of airplanes. Rolled as one with my mountain bike down hillsides. I’ve even applied and am actually attending law school. Frightening, I know. But I’m wary of installing Windows Service Pack 2 on my laptop. Some people have had no problems, some have had nothing but problems. Internet, please, convince me to install the infamous SP2. I want to be a good Windows lemming and give my computer the updates Microsuck says it needs.

Will my computer explode into a series or Blue Screens or am I safe? For the record, Blue Screen and I don’t get along very well. Our relationship began to falter right around when Windows 98 came out. But I’m willing to put that all behind us if – and only if – SP2 for XP isn’t a total dud.

Don't do it. Just go to the Windows Update web site and apply all the necessary patches. I'm waiting for SP3, which, if we're lucky, will fix all the horrendous problems in SP2.
