Ditto...
I agree with you...

We are a small company and each person usually wears different hats. I'm the acting-CIO, I also do project management and also serve as the back-up Systems/Network admin.

We have ongoing projects that MIGHT get adversely affected if SP2 is not tested thoroughly. I'm not griping with doing the work, it's just that I also have to consider the overall effect SP2 will have on the business.

Anyway, the only thing that would probably REALLY be affected are the legacy apps that weren't designed with security in mind...
