Bad news for those looking to get the latest XP service pack

It's now available from the MS Update site. I dl'd and installed it, but I don't know if it's helpful or not tbh.

I have been using it since it was posted here a while back. No issues at all. It saves on a truck load of updates after a reinstall.

If they ever ship it to me it looks like it'll be a nice time saver to have on a CDROM.
