Windows XP Sp2
Posted by Michael Dale on Sat, 07 Aug 2004 1:19 PMWell it is finally here (for people with access to the microsoft beta testing area). It will be released to the general public sometime next week. The service pack is ~270mb and provides many many fixes to windows XP (home and pro). It is recommended that you install it asap (if you're running XP of course, it doesn't fix the bugs in linux...).

Oh. But WineX installed it okay! ;)
Oh about bloody time! I've been hearing about and anticipating SP2 for months now. I like this part:
Microsoft is introducing a set of security technologies that will help to improve the ability of Windows XP-based computers to withstand malicious attacks from viruses and worms.
I'll believe that when I see it ;)
