   XP~SP2 to finish........

   I'm running WinXP SP2 on a Dell Dimension 3 GHz machine with 2 Gig of RAM.   
      
   I have only heard bad things from people I know who tried to install   
   SP3 and on newsgroups.  It seems that one of three things will happen.   
      
   1.  Everything will go well and it will work OK. (Seldom)   
      
   2.  It will seem to go well for some period of time and then something   
   happens and your computer gets screwed up.   
      
   3.  It will not install correctly and your computer gets screwed up.   
      
   With the last two, a clean re-install of WinXP is required to get back   
   running.   
      
   With my luck with updates, one of the last two will occur.   
      
   What happens if I don't update and stay with SP2?  Will I not get any   
   further updates at all?
