[PrntRhd]

You can now order the upcoming SP2 Update for XP by going to:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default810.mspx

It is free, including shipping.

Yep...ordered it last night. ;)

Just can't resist something "free" from M$. :D
Even though it says the English version is "available for order" August 25th, I got a confirmation...just may take a while.

Will be nice to have if and when I get it.
I know the Free "Security Update CD" came in handy a couple of times back when I ordered that.

I guess MS only has one disk burning/shipping facility, they have now discontinued the aforementioned Security Update CD-ROM program.
:rolleyes:

I'm glad I put my order in before they stoped taking them.

The one they discontinued was the earlier Security Update CD-ROM dated Feb 2003 for Windows98/98SE/ME/2000/XP including Service Packs.
The one you just ordered is for XP SP2 even though the page said you had to wait until Aug 25, 2004 to order it.
