    If you don't load SP2... your computer's gonna get CROWDED with viruses, troyans, spyware, etc etc

    Not really. Viruses no longer depend on how you use the computer. Viruses spread over unused ports by scanning all the computers in the world for windows TCP vulnerabilities.

    Unless of course, you're behind a hardware firewall which will make remote attacks practically impossible. And if you use a software firewall (i.e. windows), remember that a *SINGLE* fault (i.e. nephew coming over and misusing the PC once, i.e. bad website) can disable your firewall and ruin everything.
