Back up your claim, please
>>I may be wrong here but they will, most likely, force the .net framework in on this one which will require a separate EULA and if you don't agree to each EULA they put in front of you...the installation will not proceed. <<

What evidence do you have that the .net framework will be a required part of the SP2 update?

I would think Microsoft would steer clear of this, because of regulatory issues, mainly.. they didn't force .NET on anyone during SP1, now did they?
