Free Windows SP2 Update CD From Microsoft

Well this is for all you poor folks out in dialup land.  If you’re running Windows XP you should be upgrading to SP2 but I’m sure you don’t want to bother downloading a 100MB+ file either.

Microsoft said they would make a big push to get SP2 distributed to the masses and they’ve made good on their promise.  You can now order a SP2 CD directly from Microsoft free of change.  You don’t even have to pay shipping!

Now the one problem.  It’ll take 4 to 6 weeks for delivery.  That is a long time to wait considering even for dialup you could get the SP2 installer downloaded in less time.  But hey it’s free from Microsoft so why not take advantage of it?  It’ll be handy for the future should you reinstall your OS at some point or just to loan to family and friends.

Head on over to the Microsoft Website and order your CD today.  There’s no reason not to!

Yea I got mine the other day too.  Was a bit surprised to say the least. 

Back in Feb I ordered that update cd MS released and it did take almost a month for me to get it.  I figured it would be the same with this. 

I guess MS really is working hard to get SP2 out to consumers.
