With the beta of Windows XP SP2, Microsoft appears to be shaking a finger, figuratively, at users because they tend not to turn on Automatic Updates--or to limit its ability to do its job by not allowing updates to be installed automatically. The first screen you see after installing SP2 and rebooting is a blue warning page that asks you to turn on Automatic Updates. You have two choices:

  1. Yes, help me protect my PC by automatically downloading and installing updates (strongly recommended)

  2. Ask me again later.
