SP2...how many mega-bytes?

Service Pack 2 for Windows XP will be released probably next Spring.
Does anyone have an educated guess as to how many mega-bytes (MB) that will
be? I know specifics are impossible, just a general range. Are we talking
under 50MB, or over 100MB? From what I've read, SP2 will be a major
upgrade, so I'm guessing it will be quite large.

From what I see it will probably be between 100mb - 200mb, I am guessing

Well, Service Pack 1 was roughly 135 Mb in size, and we know that
Service Pack 2 will include all of those fixes, plus it's own "new"
fixes, so I'd expect it to be at least 150 Mb in size, and probably
larger.

I hope Microsoft prepares their servers for the millions of users who
will try to download SP2 the day it is released. I'd hate to download a
200MB file at a 15KB transfer rate. That would take about two days.
