    apparently MS has released a some program that holds off sp2, until they manually install it. i guess too many IT people were holding it off and complaining

    apparently i dont have enough space in my c drive to let it install sp2.
    and about the cd key, you can order sp2 from microsoft. it was free when i did it. should still be free now. and they ship you a nifty little CD
