IBM has ordered its employees not to install Windows XP Service Pack 2 due to concerns that it may “break” a number of existing applications.

I’ve read a lot of commentary on whether or not XP SP2 will cause more problems than it fixes and I am very concerned about installing it on my LAN, especially on my development machines.

Usually I install everything available on Windows Update, but this time I’m not so sure.

What’s your take? Will you be an SP2 early adopter or are you going to wait for the dust to settle?
