looks gd Jeff, but there are other sites with different opinions, e.g.

I saw but this said the delay will only be "days". Oh well, who knows.

Suggestion if I may? For those who have bandwidth and storage.... perhaps grabbing the full network-admin version of SP1 / SP1a before it's gone is a good safeguard in case SP2 is messed up????


I am going to grab it (134 mb)... hollar if anyone needs it will be available by early Sat AM UTC ( morning US EST )

Jeff,

Thanks, I will grab SP1 & SP1a now .... and start searching for SP2...

I will post the URL when I find it.... I bet it will be on the MS site, or in the add-list (which posts automatically) before COB Pacific today (it's now 4:30pm PST)

I will also grab both express and full versions of SP2 and post the URLs for direct access from my web site.

Thanks Chuck!

Thanks Chuck!

Ok Jeff.. I got both versions of SP1 alll set here and ready to push to the web page....

The links about deployment of SP2 in the corporate world were just updated.....

I expect SP2 any moment now and will grab it........

I do have auto-update turned on to let me know if it starts coming down.

I suggest everyone (given the countries and multiple distributions involved) turn on auto-update for this one.... it is HUGE and some 100 million PCs are going to get it..... I know historically that auto-update gets things even when the web site is overloaded... you just might end up getting SP2 quicker that way.... It's up to each user... it is a HUGE download.
