Minor point, _but_ there is only one 'version' of SP2. The 
difference, is with the compression used for the downloadable 
release. The layout of the files in the original 'downloadable' pack, 
resulted in some files being corrupted on some machines, when 
decompressing without SP1. MS 'repackaged' the release, but this 
doesn't affect CD releases.

Best Wishes
