rammolo Posted November 1, 2005 CID Share Posted November 1, 2005 Prefer SP-1 all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmasta Posted November 1, 2005 CID Share Posted November 1, 2005 For net access, it probably doesn't really matter. If you want to continue to recieve Windows Updates than you have to upgrade to SP2 otherwise you won't be able to get anymore updates.

spartansc Posted November 2, 2005 CID Share Posted November 2, 2005 SP2 is better, neither will affect your internet performance. But the updates are needed man to stay safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlewis23 Posted November 2, 2005 CID Share Posted November 2, 2005 stay safe of what ? all you need is firewall .. only :haha: if only that were true, you need sp2 to get all the updates so it can fix all the software holes that your firewall can't protect against.

organ_shifter Posted November 3, 2005 CID Share Posted November 3, 2005 SP2 isn't as necessary as some may think. The same fixes that are required for SP2 are also released for SP1 if needed. I have SP1 only and there are no security holes left over that can only be fixed by installing SP2, and I get all updates every time they are released. A good antivirus/firewall combination will keep you protected just as well as having SP2 with the same combination. SP2 adds other features, but it still seems to be aimed towards novice users who can't protect themselves properly. Like clicking on every popup they come across in hopes of winning the prize at the other end while, in reality, their getting infected. More advanced users recognize the features in SP2 as being anything but urgent/needed. Personally, I don't think I'll ever have SP2 or it's feature until Vista gets released. That's only because that OS will have SP2 features built in. SP2 does affect you connection experience being that it limits the amount of connections that you can have open at one time. BitTorrent sucks with it being installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the advanced user, I dont really think SP2 is necessary, as long as you can still get the patches. However, its only a matter of time before Microsoft requires SP2 to get Updates. I hate it when they do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
