I'll Have to Take Your Word for That
From your own original post:

"You have been trying really really hard to scare people away from installing SP2. Now we find out that if people DID install SP2, that they would NOT be vulnerable."

Microsoft's own website says you are still vulnerable, hence the need to install patches to Office and Developer Tools.

I haven't installed SP2 because I want all my other apps to work. Microsoft admits that many do not. I feel safer using 3rd party apps to protect my system.

It's fine to have an opinion and state that opinion, but to try to support that opinion with half-truths and lies, and resort to verbal abuse only shows your immaturity and lack of analytical skills.
