JSKY Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Unless M$ is going to come out with another SP2 disk in the future. It will still be the same upgrade. But yes I can understand your concerns about it. I run the IT version on both of my PC, One is a Compaq, (my backup). And the other is on my homebuilt one. Both went without any problems. And I'm not having any problems with any of the programs "That May Behave Differently" That I have installed. As long as you follow everyones advice on installing SP2, I see no real problems. But like you said, there could be fixes M$ put out before you do decide to upgrade. And it's not going to hurt anything by being carefull and waiting for awhile on the upgrade. I'm just foolish myself, Had to do the IT upgrade on my backup as soon as it went gold. and after everything went OK, did it to my main PC. Probobly one of the first 10 at the G4 boards to give everyone the lowdown on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
