I'm with you, Pelletgun! What's a good reason to install it any way? Simply to be able to say "Me Too!" isn't a good enough answer, IMHO. Maybe to the people that are addicted to all the M$ tools (I.E, Outlook,etc), I suppose it's a "must have", though.

Remember the ONLY reason for this Service Pack was to comply with the Court's order to "remove" the M$ only tools. M$ has wiggled that around to mean that they don't have to actually remove anything, just allow these items to be hidden from Mr/Mrs Joe Average who's computer savy extends as far as the on/off switch.

The only other reason was to kill a few of the thousands (per the latest M$ internal security report) bugs still left in XP. It seems there will still be hundreds of bugs left when M$ stops supporting XP and moves on to future versions. When you use Windows, you live with bugs - that's life...
