iPod touch Do I Really Need Windows Service Pack 2 For The iPod touch?

I'm no windows expert, but don't the service packs contain critical updates to keep your system secure?!
If you don't have the service pack, then do you also not get any security updates at all?
The iPod probably won't work at all.

well on the itunes 7.4.1 download page it says to have Windows Service Pack 2 for either an Apple TV or an Iphone not an Ipod Touch.............

It was probably a rare mistake the first time around. I'd bet that you won't have many problems trying it again. I just reformatted my girlfriend's Dell and had no problems getting it back up to date. As mentioned before, just back up your data before trying again, just to be safe. Besides, System Restore worked before didn't it?
iPods have required SP2 for years now, I don't think the iPod touch would be any different
I bought a new iPod Nano (video) just a few weeks ago and it worked perfectly, but now the iPod Touch says I need service pack 2. Luckily I was allowed to use my friends laptop to put some (rubbish) music on the Touch and activate it, but it's extremely annoying. Is there any way to use it if you dont have serive pack 2?

I only just recently updated to SP2 on my Windoze computer and its been fine. But you need it for the iPod then backup and install it.
