Sp2 came out in August of 2004. There has been a lot of things that happened since then.

Or do what I do when planning a re-install (ie fresh install):
Go here for instructions/explanations: http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/ And visit their extremely talented forums: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php? I personally use nLite to simplify things: http://www.nliteos.com/ Although I do not use the "Integrator", Ryans update packs and many of the other 'add-ons' are extremely useful: http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/ |

As of today, your count is wrong. You can probably add about 6 to it.
