Set a restore point and installed Sp2, Mozilla wont start because
moz.dll is missing, "try reinstalling" the box says.
Re-install didn't work, well I set a restore point (always wondered
what system restore was for) after the reboot still no mozilla, well
another re-install, still not working.
Well, wait for some clever bastard to suffer the same fate and tell me
how to fix it.

Microsoft to Temporarily Stop Auto-Update of SP2

<http://www.overclockersclub.com/?read=9232607>

"Microsoft said that they will be giving customers a tool to prevent SP2
to from being automatically installed on their computer via Automatic
Update or Windows Update. Microsoft originally was going to "force" the
new service pack upon users but because there is so much controversy
over the potential of applications no longer working after install the
Service Pack, Microsoft has decide to make it a choice of the users..."

Hmmmm...
