Interesting, I just got this email today from our PC Support Manager:

Microsoft recently posted several updates to their Windows XP operating system. These updates require that your system be restarted. The restart takes a significant period of time (10 to 20 minutes) during which it seems as though the system has stalled or "locked up." Please do not power cycle the system during this process, simply be patient and let the operating system go through its necessary cycle.

We have taken measures to prevent the updates from being distributed to any other systems.

If you have not yet received the updates and you receive a prompt asking to accept or decline them, do not accept the updates until further notice. If you have already accepted but not yet restarted your system, do not restart system unless absolutely necessary.

Supervisors should alert ________ to this issue in the event their systems are having problems.

If you are having any problems regarding these particular updates please notify _____ (reply to this message) so that we can take prompt corrective action.

We will be sending another message indicating when you can again accept the windows updates.

Thanks for your cooperation in this matter.

Anyone now to which XP update he is referring?

" Anyone now to which XP update he is referring?"

Most certainly both. I wonder what his caution is. Internal testing maybe?

I've patched my desktop with the new patches and it is running fine, (even with sp02).

My laptop does not have SP02, (service pack 2) on it yet.

Is loading SP02 a bad idea?
