Yes, just tried to install it, but can't. Don't have SP1a nor SP2. But I have the older patch installed.

Guess I am using a pirated copy
But I wouldn't install it anyways if I could. Been running Windows like this for years. Never had any problems.

It would run fine with my specs, I'm sure. It's not the system in my sig that I am using.
But why would I install SP2? All it does is make my system slower, probably, and more secure.

Yes, but my system runs fine this way. Only downside some patches cannot be installed.

I have the patch made by that guy installed. I am not worried. According to Microsofts stupid warnings I should have been infected and hacked a million times by now not having any service packs. Well, I am not..., so...
