from windowsupdate.microsoft.com?

Or from the download (the huge friggin file that won't fit on my 256Meg Key drive) for network administrators?

Just curious. Because I heard that MS was waiting for a couple of weeks to put it on windowsupdate, and I can't help but feel that they are doing that to catch most of the "features" through installation / testing by corporations using their "final" release version. I heard they had bandwidth concerns too (leading to a staggered release), which seemed kinda' odd.

I'm waiting for the CD version myself. Got family on XP with dialup.

Yep - the massive download. Since my daughter will be away at school, I decided to test the SP install on my system (no problem) and then give her a hardened system if that went OK.

I hope everyone's experience mimics my first shot and not my second.

Both installations were done from the same CD.
