reinstalling window xp after M antispyware expires

I am planning to reinstall my Window XP pro after
Microsoft Antispyware Beta expires and i want to know if
the Service Pack 2 cd that i ordered from microsoft has
Service Pack 1 on sp2 cd. basically what im saying is do
i need to install Service pack 1 first and then Service
pack 2 or do i just install Service Pack 2 because it
comes with SP1 included . I'm confuse can anyone answer
my question? please help?

Ryan;
No, it is not necessary to install SP-1 before installing SP-2.
SP-2 includes all the updates of SP-1.

Although such a reinstall is a routine precaution in some beta testing
scenarios, I wouldn't expect that to be recommended in the case of this
beta, FWIW. Simple uninstall, followed by reinstallation of the final
product (or not)--should be all that is needed.

Are you seeing significant issues with Microsoft Antispyware on your system?
