I have XP SP1. I've seen suggestions about waiting "a while"
before installing SP2, because some people have had problems
and because a number of apps have problems with it.
My question is: wait for what? Some kind of patch to go with
SP2? Wait for other apps to update to accommodate SP2? And
so on.
Note: I'm conscientious about security (use firewall,
antivirus, anti-trojan, anti-adware/spyware, keep stuff up
to date, etc), but don't have the attitude that that means
never to upgrade. I'm just wondering whether there's a good
reason to wait a month or so -- or whatever "a while" means.
I've scanned messages here since SP2 came out, but I'm still
unclear on the concept. My main concern is that I'm a
computer idiot, and so I'm leery of having to fix computer
things.
Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
