It wont stop your AV or your firewall, not the Symantec ones anyway, it falsely reports the status of the programs due to anti-tamper features in Symantec software.

Windows Update (v4) will have it Monday 16th, those using beta versions of SP2 (and hence Windows Update v5) should find it available now.Originally Posted by Jamie Sherman
The link being circulated is actually the RTM release, I guess a Premier customer (or 500) leaked it.
Yes, just overkill - there are 2 flavours of SP2, the "upgrade" (for SP1 users) and the "full install" (for XP Gold users, network distribution and slipstreaming).Originally Posted by ben_wade
Either can be applied to an XP SP1 system.
Windows Update will give you the relevant download for your system.

this thread has been a great help, i'm in portugal right now and have downloaded the large upgrade from the MS site on my dads computer, but i may wait and just install what i need when i return to england next week
This is all fine and good but where do I sign up for the free CD Microsoft are supposed to be offering? Anyone got any links?
Not everyone has broadband!
they were up on the site last week but they took down the order form
I would guess that you will be able to order on CD soon, within the week
Where did you see the order form from Ben?Originally Posted by ben_wade
This is the problem, if I'd of known about the form I'd of signed up but how do you find out about such things? I try to keep myself fairly informed, hexus, inquirer etc etc but this news slipped past me!?
you should be able to get the cd in places such as PC world
just installed xp SP2, rebooted and cpu temp on mbm5 went down from 50c to 43c. anyone else experienced temp drop like this?
I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.
It was probably about a week-2 weeks ago, they removed the form before i got a chance to order mineOriginally Posted by gizmo1990
I do know of people who did manage to order one though
I had read that MS wouldnt bloack any illegal copies due to the greater good of improving everyone online security.
Folks,
I have just spent a good few minutes cleaning this thread up following a lot of arguing over the legality of transferring and reselling of XP licenses.
Firstly, this thread is about SP2 - talk about SP2 in it, or you're not on topic.
Secondly, windows licensing can be very complex, the legalities of which I am not claiming to comprehend. However some of the "reasons" provided for having a "legal" version of XP have been dubious in my opinion. There is no point in proving to anybody through an elaborate reasoning that your copy of XP is legal. There's no need to discuss such things in this thread, so let it end here and then there will be no more arguments.
Thank you.

I've had Automatic Update switched on for about two weeks PLUS I've been checking Windows Update every day BUT the only thing that's happened is that the WU software has changed from v4 to v5.
The question is - when will XP Pro users get SP2 through WU/AU?
