So the majority have no business applying something SP2 because they
have no way to back it out. First lesson of software development. Of
course, if they have nothing on their computers they would miss if they
had to wipe their HDD & start over, bon voyage!
I applied SP2 to my laptop (successfully) and certainly set a restore
point beforehand; but I also had a clone of my C: drive on an external
HDD, so if the update turned into a major clusterthing I could just
revert back to the pre-SP2 state.
