when is service pack 2 going to be released because quite
frankly installing literally 50+ patches etc (postsp1) is
ridiculous and wastes my time.
 
Word is sometime before first half of 04 is over,
at least this was stated in last weeks MS chat.
In the meantime, just download SP1 and the new
security rollup. After an install, turn on the firewall
and go to Windows Update (which will then get the
ms03-034 patch and patches from ms03-40 onward).
 
The rollup package was designed to mitigate this problem. If you have an
XPsp1 system, you need the rollup (KB826939) and a few more updates
after that, in a two-step process at WU.

Although I never had any trouble installing thirty or forty updates all
at once. It's just a little time-consuming to wait for it to finish. And
you always have to return to make sure that a couple new critical
updates aren't offered, now that you have caught up.

Be sure to enable Automatic Updates to stay up-to-date.
