Sometimes you've just got to wonder.

I just ran into this on Microsoft's "What to Know Before You Download and Install Windows XP Service Pack 2" site:

•

Memory: You need at least 2 gigabytes (GB) of free memory space on your hard disk.

To check your free memory space, click Start, click My Computer, and right-click Local Disk (C:) or the name of the drive you are installing SP2 on, and then click Properties.

Does anyone ELSE find it disturbing that Microsoft's recommending that people have 2G of memory to install the service pack?  Or that Microsoft's recommending that people have memory space on their hard disk?  How do I get memory space on my hard disk?  Should I increase my paging file to 2G to make that work?

Sigh.  If you treat people like they don't understand computers, how on EARTH can you expect them to learn about computers?
