Story: Microsoft unprepared for SP2 support nightmare?

• 
• 

I have Broadband and I run XP but tell me ..when will the updates security patches and bug fixes EVER end..?
I have Norton 2004 updated regularly and Zonelab Pro Firewall.
Nevertheless Micro$oft cries daily
" More patches ..more patches.. "
My PC is beginning to look like a pair of hobo jeans picked up at a local thrift store.covered in patches and running out of space..
Soon my hard drive will contain nothing but Microsoft updates patches and bug fixes.
Next is coming the HUGE SP2download..
IF ..IF ..IF it EVER gets debugged first..
And even then ,we are told in advance that some applications will cease to function once it's installed and we should just be happy to accept that tradeoff for increased security needed because of inept code creation on the part of Microsoft'$ software developers in the first place.
well.. i'VE had it !
What if I choose NOT to install SP2..?
What if I'm tired of giving up more and more hard disk space to Microsoft for endless ENDLESS security updates and bug fixes...?
What if I dont want a firewall which I cant turn totally off if I choose to ..?
Why should I or any of us any longer continue to just say "here Microsoft ..take complete control of my PC and my internet activities"?? After all .. just because I paid for it doesnt mean my PC is mine..Right??
What if I think "enough is enough.??"
And believe me .. I'm there already.
