I have Windows XP home and the SP2 update sounds like it will take forever
to download on my slow dial up. I know that Microsoft will allow us to
order a CD towards the end of the month but I was hoping that they would
make the download available somewhere so that I could download it at work
with a T1 line and then, install it at home from the CD. I have seen the
network install one available but I have no network and it is for home not a
network at a business.

Anyone know if Microsoft will make a download for SP2 for the home folks
available anywhere?

Thks

If the boss allows, why not download at work and burn it to a CD?
