XP SP2 Torrent Shows Legal P2P's Promise

Downhill Battle writes "With Congress debating new legislation that would ban p2p networks (along with other innovations and beloved products), we thought it was important to demonstrate the huge potential of p2p software to benefit the public. So now at SP2torrent.com you can get Windows XP SP2 via BitTorrent." Update: 08/09 21:10 GMT by S : As commenters note, you can also get XP SP2 from Microsoft's site, but it's explained: "DO NOT CLICK DOWNLOAD IF YOU ARE UPDATING JUST ONE COMPUTER: A smaller, more appropriate download will be available soon on Windows Update."

We don't outlaw gun manufacturers, although the overwhelming usage is for criminal purposes.

Just out of curiosity... are you a troll, stupid, or a stupid troll? Because that was a pretty stupid statement that looks a lot like a troll, but it looks to much like a troll to be an effective troll.

I conclude, therefore, that you're just an idiot.

To Sun, IBM, HP, Linux users, a "Service Pack" is a cluster of patches. To Microsoft, a "Service Pack" is whole lot of shit to foister on the clients without given them the option to install only what they need.

To Apple, "Service Pack" is $129.
