Keith,
it is my understanding that standard XP ships with a 'comaptibility
testing' utility. Perhaps SP2 has an updated version of this?
Alternatively, perhaps trial your apps on SP2 on a single test machine
prior to commitment on the remaining lab.
I'd also be curious to know what a lab full of XP machines costs, if it's
not a problem to reveal such numbers.
Cheers,
