I hope nobody out there is still on SP2, you should have moved to SP3 over a year ago!

Dear Windows XP Customer,

 

We have released a free update for Windows® XP called Service Pack 3 to make your PC with Windows XP run more securely and reliably.  Support for Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) is coming to an end on July 13, 2010..." 

 

 

Microsoft Vista (and Windows Server 2008) Service Pack 2 available

It 'quietly' was released yesterday.  I'm currently downloading all 1.7 GB of it to burn on DVD for installation now.

Its going to be a pain for anyone who has a bad service pack 1 installation.  I have one such laptop that is going to be a problem, but I was planning on re-installating the entire system anyway.
