All of those many updates to Win XP, SP2 can be safely removed, I guess,
but would like your opinions. TIA,

I'm assuming you mean the $NtUninstallKB899510$ etc folders.

Just remove the updates and not the $hf_mig$ folder.
And remember that if you remove them, you can't uninstall any of them.
The best option is to back them all up on a CD, and then remove
everything up to about 2-4 weeks ago.

I did it and it worked fine.
