I especially liked that one quote from the guy who actually thought that the "anti-patch" needed to be "deleted" in order to install SP2. All the anti-patch does it prevent the patch from being installed automatically. It can certainly be bypassed manually. If that guy's the VP of IT at a higher education institution, there are plenty of people better qualified for his position.

Also, there is nothing in SP2 that has not been released before in separate patches. (aside from the windows firewall, and some minor functionality tweaks) A fully patched PC running any firewall application has the same security face as a PC patched with SP2. Stupid sys admins scare me.
