2 sp2 or not.

When a customer comes in and I reload his WinXp I am torn between installing sp2 or not.
My concern is that if I put in sp2 and he takes it home and finds some apps don't work he will be back in asking me to fix it at no charge.(happened 4 times already)
What are other people doing?

Give him sp1a and then use autopatcherxp, stop there for now

Mmm .. you want to cast your eyes down this 'little' (its anything but !!!) list from M$ :rolleyes: - Programs that are known to experience a loss of functionality when they run on a Windows XP Service Pack 2-based computer

So at this point I'm either telling the customer about this list & getting their 'ok' on putting it on (practical experience tells me half these things listed just need some tweaking or maybe a re-install, which if you are re-building anyway is no hardship) or if its 'corporate' I turn that decision over to their IT folks as to whether its 'policy' or not ;)
