Appreciate any helpful advice on the differences between Windows SP2 and

Thanks in advance.

SP-2 includes everything in SP-1 including all updates released after SP-1
up to the release of SP-2:

If it is a question of which to install, there really is no question,
install SP-2.

NB: In the very near future, you'll have to have SP2 installed to get
further Security Updates.
