Will Windows 7 SP2 fix all the bugs that were introduced by SP1?

The fact that Microsoft have withdrawn SP1 from the list of Windows Updates (for those that had not pro-actively) installed it) and the fact that a lot of Windows users seemed to have a lot pf problems with kb976932. The fact that they now have kb2533552 waiting to be installed. Seems to indicate that kb2533552 is a precursor to SP2.

My advice is not to install anything unless forced to do so. Even then you may want to hold off the update, especially if you are running a bootleg or pirate copy of Windows 7.

This creates a dilemma in that those that are most likely to install the "important" updates before they are automatically "pushed" are those that are more likely to dig around their computers and the Internet - they are more likely to find that it is easy to find a free copy of Windows.
Those that "just use" their computers and don't care what is going on behind the scenes (they just want their computers to work) - they are the vast majority that have had no problems.
