I am a registered user of WindowsXP Pro. Should I have received notice of
the SP2 download availability by now - or, is this being done by different
categories of registered users? I have friends whose computers are similar
to mine, running XP Pro, and they indicated that they have already received
notice, and downloaded same. Curious,

Will that work on a stand alone PC running XP or one that's on a home
network?

standalone or on a network.
