WHAT IS IT AND IF WE NEED IT WHY DIDN'T IT COME WITH THE SYSTEM? HOW DO WE GET IT?

Hello

When you post a message here do not type in all caps
your yelling which is considered rude. That's an update
that you have to download from MS website

SP1 is Service Pack 1.
Yes you need it because it contains many of the patches and a few
other features:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=/support/ServicePacks/Windows/XP/SP1FixList.asp

It was not included because it did not exist when Windows XP was
originally released, SP 1 has been included on most new computers as
well as retail Windows XP for some time.
