Microsoft Delays Windows XP Service Pack 2

Rinisari writes "DesignTechnica, among some others , explains that Microsoft has once again delayed its release of Service Pack 2 for Windows XP, though only until August. Microsoft has declined to comment on the reason for the delay. Windows Update v5, however, is online and operational (and works with Service Pack 1!), although not officially so. I know many smaller education institutions are chomping at the bit with the looming release, as they are worried about compatibility with some of the new features in Service Pack 2."

No, you mean "if they could have stopped more users"

You may pronounce it "of", but it's incorrect.

Word has it that while testing the new service pack, they contracted a virus within the first 15 seconds of running it on an internet connected PC.
