This I would agree with... but IE is not SP2. Besides, there is pretty much ALWAYS a risk when you connect to the internet regardless of the browser or OS. I use Firefox, but it ain't perfect either. It takes a certain amount of intelligence to have an internet connection and not be taken advantage of.

Yet another tidbit of misinformation. Windows is not unstable by nature. I'm not saying that it's perfect, or even better than other OS options. Just that it isn't flat out unstable.
I have not doubt that your teachers are educated and skilled at their trade, but it just seems to me that they are using their position (i.e. having a class of students who trust them) to pawn off their opinions as fact. I would have a greater respect for it if they were to elaborate with "SP2 is horrible, and here's why........".
I'll take it easy now, as this is beginning to sound like a rant.
