Digital BW, The Print

I think hte issue revolves around the seeming blind belief in the 
Service Packs doing nothing but good.  An IT outfit that 
occasionally hires me for the odd bit of Mac work that comes 
their way (right, I don't "do" Windows at home, but sometimes 
help others who do) has categorically advised *against* the XP 
SP2 on account of numerous problems they've encountered - 
hey, it's their bread-and-butter, not mine (at least not directly), 
although I've dealt enough with XP (among other Windows 
flavors) to know not to go blindly down the path of each and every 
"fix" (there's a reason why I think Win 2000 Pro might have been 
Windows at its peak).
