I really don't like running auto update crap. I got XP SP1 and am curious is there a one big update I can d/l that will update everything that I can maybe burn to a CD for when I redo windows? Or is Windows Update the only way?

Nothing, alot of people with illeagal copies of XP don't like it though. No iference there on anyone here though. But usually in forums when that question is asked it seems about 85% of the time that's what it's about.

Well when the final of sp2 is released it will be available to anyone even those with pirated editions installed.

pirate users can update via windows update, only thing which might cause problems is installing SP1 with certain widely pirated keys - guide for installing SP1 for such people, since I dont want crap spammed at me from all the own3d pc's.
