Windows XP Service Pack 2 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=049C9DBE-3B8E-4F30-8245-9E368D3CDB5A&displaylang=en

Full version. 250+ megabytes. Great for burning to CD for your family and friends. I downloaded it last night with high speed connection, it took 15 minutes. I won't be installing it until I read a lot more about the ups and downs.

Sounds like SP2 might be more trouble than it's worth.

I'm holding off for now.

I just started to install it and came here to FreeRepublic to drink coffee read the morning news (as is my usual routine), and found this thread about the XP2 SP. I cancelled. I think I'll wait. I'll see what the Freeper consensus is.

I've had it for a couple of weeks....

Might want to check the extensive list of software conflicts prior to installing the update.

I have a 640 meg "update" that beats the living crap out of this noxious, retarded puspot of an "operating system update" It is called "linux." It is easily downloadable, easily installable, and runs off a cd, so you don't even have to install it on your computer to run it. The Knoppix version of linux runs off a single cd. Anyone here wants a copy and doesn't have dialup, email me at eddiegilchrist@mindspring.com, send me 2 bucks for the postage and the media, and I will mail it to ya.

Failing that, download mozilla firefox. Beats the heck out of IE.

Hmm. Mine was 95.6MB. No trouble downloading it over a satellite connection-- about half an hour.

We'll see if it installs correctly and I can still...........<pop>

My Windows update prompted me to download it yesterday. So far no problems, but I run mostly Office products...

Downloaded yesterday, installed last night.

Not a problem.

XP is still the king of the operating systems.

Linux is great, Mac is cool, but those of us in the real world need Windows.

BE SURE TO MAKE A RESTORE POINT BEFORE INSTALLING, just in case.

If you use automatic updates to download it, then it will download in the background as you use your computer. It's very aggressive at backing off when you use your Internet so you won't even notice it. For those concerned with a 3 hour download, just use the automatic update feature and "drizzle" the update to your PC.
