I have no reason not to wish to pick up IE fixes etc however (A) We're not
supposed to have SP2 yet (B) I don't want to sign a EULA for a fix to an
existing product.

i.e. I want IE etc fixes but I want to knock SP2 off the list until I
decide I want it (which might be never as I'm a gnat's foreskin from
booting just to mandrake).

What annoys is that cancel doesn't. I.e. once the SP2 has been dl'ed then
the assumption is that you really do want it & "cancel"
really means "later".
