[Mike Dee]

I live in the UK...does anyone know where I can obtain SP2 for XP Home on CD
either by post or magazine or store (free) To download it will take forever
if by modem.

Thanks Mike

This is the N. American order spot..after 25Aug.. not sure if it applies
world-wide. I heard a rumour that some UK Magazines were going to include
the CD, I may be wrong. oither than this you could check the UK Microsoft
website.

Mike I believe that the Microsoft Windows XP the Official Magazine published
by Future Publishing will be including the SP2 update on its cover CD for
November Edition (obviously the content is subject to change) On sale 3
September.
You might find that other magazine will follow.

Best bet will probably be the cover disk on 'Microsoft Windows XP the
Official magazine' (any WH Smith) which promises it with its next
edition, to be published 3 September. There will be other distributions
of CDs but we have not yet been told just how.
