Craig Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Hi folks,For a limited time this evening, you will be able to download Service Pack 2 for Windows XP directly from Windows Forum.The service pack has been verified as the final, and has successfully installed on a couple of my computers.The download will be available between 8PM - Midnight (BST) today.I would appreciate that you do not spread the word that we are offering this download, as other websites have, and have subsequently crashed due to the high volume of people visiting. This will also ensure that your download speeds stay pretty high.Service Pack 2 From MicrosoftService Pack 2 From Windows Forum - RemovedCraig.
