According to many of the comments on Neowin and
this site,
it's only "forced" if you use Windows Update or enable Automatic Updates. If you avoid those things, you can continue living with your old version and quit complaining.
I doubt there's any other way for Microsoft to force an update unless it's via their update service. They can't connect to your PC whenever they want and tell it to install SP2.
For the people who have a problem with the large download size, read this comment...

Autoupdate will quite happily download any updates bit by bit (no pun intended, honest) as and when it gets a chance. So it might get to download a couple MBs one day when you're on for a long time, and only a couple KBs the next as you do nothing more than check your email. Using BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer System) it'll try to only download when your connection is idle, so you shouldn't notice any slowdown in your connection speed either.
You could also order the free CD.
