Extras in SP 2, downloading, and other comments

Here's a link to the list of extras in SP 2, as well as the Security related functions.

For reference, an article on the Microsoft site speaks of "unneeded Internet capacity" being used for downloads for dial-up customers. So it'll be a background process.

SP 2 includes all the SP 1 fixes as well; no wonder the list is long.

Even at home, I prefer to make such a major change off a CD. I hope that Staples or some other software seller has the sense to obtain copies to give away. Waiting weeks for a mailing is too long, though I do intend to be patient while awaiting fixes for other programs.
