[Sergio Hegner]

I haven´t installed sp1 nor sp1a because I´ve seen too many people
complaining
afeter installing this patch. Microsoft will launch SP2. What´s your opinion
? Should
I install it or wait for SP2 ?

Thanking in advance,

Do not think that if you have an issue with SP1 or SP1a, that you will not
have the same issue with SP2.
SP2 will be a roll-up of all SP1/1a fixes/changes plus additional
fixes/changes.
Yes some of these may supersede the content of the present SP1/1a but again
this is not a guarantee that if you have an issue today then you may still
have one tomorrow.
You would be better advised to take all necessary steps to ensure your
system is recoverable and then apply SP1a and all available critical and
security fixes.
If you are still on the final/retail code with no other fixes then you are
not covered against a number of security issues as well as other critical
operating system issues.
