Default What do you say?

Hi all,
Things aren't so bad as they appear as SP2 is free to download and install and it really is a big improvement for the aging XP. So, get SP2, install it and wait for Vista. As of today Microsoft has ended its support for Windows XP with Service Pack 1 and that means no new updates for open or yet to be found bugs. Although the software support cycle is supposed to be 5 years MS says that Service Packs get only 12 months after the release of the next pack.
Thanks a lot
