Are you still waiting for XP Service Pack 2?
Wondering whether it's real or just one of those imaginary things that industry people talk about?
You're more likely to get it now. Microsoft has not been updating everybody all at once. They've been gradually downloading Service Pack 2 to customers who've turned on automatic updating. As of today, they're speeding up the distribution so you're more likely to see SP2 on your computer soon.
To turn on automatic updating (which I recommend for home users), go to the Start menu, click Settings, click Control Panel, click Automatic Updates and fill in the blanks.
Are you on dialup? SP2 is a huge download but you should be OK. The way it's supposed to work is that Windows can download it a little at a time and put it all together for you. You can also order an SP2 CD from Microsoft or look for a free CD in the October issue of computer magazines.
