WinXP SP2 (5 Comments) (link)
 Tuesday, 10-August-2004  21:13:42 (GMT +10) - by Agg

Microsoft have finally released the much-anticipated Windows XP SP2. Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) provides new proactive security technologies for Windows XP to better defend against viruses, worms, and hackers. In addition to a more robust security infrastructure, SP2 improves the security configuration options of Windows XP and provides better security information to help users faced with security decisions.

The currently-available 273MB download is intended for people who only want to download the file once, and update several computers. Microsoft say that if you only want to update one PC, wait until SP2 is available via the Windows Update service. Personally, I think it's handy to have a local copy in case of reinstalls etc.

There is a lengthy thread here in our forums discussing SP2. It dates from December last year, with the recent comments starting about here.
