Your computer does have to be turned on and running in order to get updates.
However, I have found that SP2 has a few "bugs' in it yet so I decided to
wait a while before I install it. My printer stopped working after
installing SP2 and neither Microsoft or Lexmark could help me with the
problem. Finally Microsoft suggested that I wait a while before I re-install
SP2. I'm gonna take that advice!
