Have a query on old service packs. One of my colleagues has service pack SP02, SP2.1, SP3 and SP4 installed on his laptop. Does he need to keep all the old releases on it or can they be deleted and just leave the latest SP. They're taking up a serious amount of space.

No one else has this question

There is no good reason to keep all those SP's of the same version on one computer.

It would be interesting to know why he is doing this.

    Yes, unless there is some ingenious reason he needs to be running them.

      I use an admin image to install all of my seats. I perform a clean install of each service pack after clean uninstall of each seat. All important files and shared data folders are pointed to a network drive, thus clean installs are no hassle.

        Maybe not a hassle, but thats got to be time consuming doing that 3-5 times per year...
