Can someone post a link to downloading SP2? I've been wandering all over MS site, who designs these things? Why are they
so much like mazes? After the most tortuous trail I found a link that says "Download SP2" but it takes me to "Get
Microsoft Update today." Well I've got it, I just want to download a copy of SP2. I'm sure it's possible, but how?

Don't use MS' site to search, use Google:

Yes, it is. It's the same one. There aren't two different SP2s in existence.
