Nancy;
What you "know" is not entirely correct.
No one will force SP-2 on your computers.
Although some bad journalism is spreading this FUD:

I know that beginning April 12th Microsoft will automatically update
Windows
XP machines with SP2. Can someone explain how this will work? Will this
only
happen if you have automatic updates turned on? Basically, my reason for
asking is this...we are testing XP for a future rollout and I know there
are
some applications (vulnerability scanners) that don't work with SP2. If
I
build a machine with SP1 or (1a?) can I prevent SP2 from coming down to
the
machine so I don't break my vulnerability scanner?

Thanks.
