With XP SP1, at least you can upgrade to SP2 for free.

470413 2006-07-14 01:05:00 About 80% of my customers who bought their computers before SP2 (ie 50-60% total) became intergrated into the CD as standard (and thus have it from the day they buy the PC), have SP1, have no idea what SP2 is, or why they need it, or where to get it, and when they work out that Windows Update is trying to download 250MB on their 46k dialup connection they stop it....

So IMHO it might be a little bit early to be dumping them...

470415 2006-07-14 02:33:00 Since MS is offering vista on DVD, I don't see why they couldn't offer to distribute SP2 on CD for free as well Edward (31)

When SP2 first came out they did, I think & I know PC World help them out as well as once of the issues had it on the mag cover

470417 2006-07-14 03:32:00 Why worry about SP1. It's all included with SP2 isn't it? JJJJJ (528)
