Of course, one the biggest issues has nothing to do with the firewall or IE -- it's the fact that most people either don't have their computer set to automatically download and install updates, or if they do, it's set at the default setting of the 3AM. The people that I know that would benefit the most from SP2, believe in shutting their computers down when they're done. It's what they do with their TV, their stereo and their stove -- it's their mindset. How Microsoft could ship the default setting (at least on my install of XP Pro) for automatic downloads to be at 3AM and expect people to get the update is beyond me. The people whose computers are the most infected with spy/malware aren't reading this site or other tech sites so many (in my informal survey) had no idea what SP2 was, that it was available and what benefit it would provide!
