Personally i don’t update XP at all.. i rely on a Firewal(Visnetic in my case), Opera(web browser) and no anti-virus software, i haven’t gotten any problems with it at all.. when the blaster worm was going around.. i watched my poor dial-up connection recieve over 5,000firewall block hits per hour.. that reduced my internet connection to pretty much nothing, yet i still did not get the virus

When SP2 comes out i will apply it, mainly because newer drivers require it(ie. ATI’s Catalyst drivers require SP1)

Just my point of View..
