Default Will there be an express download for sp2

I was wondering if there will be an express file download for sp2 as there was with sp1. I have been keeping up with all the security and service patches through Auto Update and feel that this should cut down the size of the upgrade.

I will still probably opt to get the disk because of the large size (265mb+ on a dial up connection), but I have a bet with a friend who says that one will have to install the full file. I say, like in the past, only needed updates will have to be downloa
ded.

TIA
