The article below is an interesting read about how many people are still running XP SP2 as opposed to upgrading to SP3.

I know that a lot of people take the “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” attitude to a lot of things in IT, but when it comes to the security of the systems that your data sits on it’s probably a good idea to make sure that you are on a supported service pack.

It is interesting to note that Microsoft has already extended the support period for XP, and according to another article has changed their support policies to allow support people to continue to answer questions about the older service pack.
