Cd of SP2

[Old Bob]

I have ordered the free CD for the SP2 on the Microsoft
web site as I do not feel comfortable with a download that
will take 6-8 hours on my old dial up modem. When ordering
I saw the title expressed as goo for "Windows XP
Professional SP2 English NA Patch CD web only Pro/Home."
I have XP "Home" edition. will this CD be correct for my
system.

It is the same for any version. (They do seem to try to put users of
Home off, onto that download, which I regard as rather a last resort)
