Service Pack 2 Bundled O/S

[Guest]

Now that the new O/S's are coming bundled with SP2 within the install, is
there a way of preventing the install of SP2?
I have a few computers that need the XP Pro O/S and will be purchasing the
O/S, but do NOT want to deploy the SP2 update. All the new version of the O/S
come with SP2 What are my options
Thanks, Justin

If SP2 is already installed, you cannot uninstall it
from an OEM PC. Your only option is to learn how
to properly deploy SP2 in your environment.

Carey is right. What's the reason you don't want SP2 on these machines? It
should run just fine - or do you have specific applications that can't work
with SP2?

Why would you not want to use SP2?

Deploy SP2, it's fine. It's everywhere and won'
t go away anytime soon.
