Other than the way that Microsoft is forcing people to accept SP2, what's wrong with it? I installed it, and I haven't noticed any new problems. Does it do something I should be aware of? Is there a reason (besides not liking to be told what to do) why people should choose not to install it?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Many larger corporations have many different hardware platforms/configurations which may or may not be compatible with SP2 without detailed attention being paid to the patching process.

Those corporations have now got to decide whether it is more cost effective to allow the auto update to take place and put out the 'fires' as they come up or initiate a project to turn off the auto update function on all desktops and perform as desk by desk controlled update.

Either way it's a gamble and it's gonna cost em.
