Install SP2 instead.
Download sp2 from one of these. Once installed get all the critical
updates, choose Custom install.

False. I find that all three of my computers run smoother, faster and
more secure with SP2 over SP1. Now, if you don't know how to prepare
your computer for SP2, that's another matter and one you will have to
look into.

But you can still download SP-1, burn to CD and install it:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp1/default.mspx
But as has already been suggested, it is usually better to go straight to
SP-2 since SP-2 has advantages over SP-1.

The answer, of course, is to install SP2, your paranoia and ill informed
opinions notwithstanding.

Fact: everyone that has XP should install SP2 and you advising to the
contrary destroys any credibility you may have had.

False, assuming you mean "security".

I say "Don't listen to any of them and do what YOU want."
Your computer may never work properly but that is okay.
For gawds sake, intall SP2 and take a chance on it. What have
you got to lose? Who knows it might even work BETTER.

Clearly you did not read my post.
I never suggested "blindly go to SP2", those are entirely your own words and
ideas.
It seems obvious you read few if any of my posts on this subject since I say
no such thing.
Note the word "usually" in my post that you seem to have conveniently
missed.
The specific circumstances of the OP need to determine the need for any
installation, update or Service Pack installation.
Your apparent need to ignore key words as well as insults display your own
credibility issues.
If you were confident in your position, you would stick to the facts instead
of your feeble attempts to shoot the messenger and ignore the message.
As for "sweeping generality", you just made one and your own credibility
suffers because of it.
