Esko,

It would be taken for granted that applications like MS Office are the
_most_ likely to work with SP2, as it's the most important application
Microsoft has on Windows. It would be the height of incompetence if
otherwise. ;-)

It's the thousands of other applications, such as anti-virus, Internet
apps and 3rd party firewalls which are at risk.
