Microsoft Quietly Releases Windows 2003 SP2

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday March 13, 2007 @12:20PM from the long-list dept.

Several readers noted that Microsoft has quietly released 32-bit Windows 2003 Service Pack 2 for download. (The 64-bit edition is still showing as a release candidate on the site.) The installation of SP2 may potentially regress hotfixes that have been deployed previously; Microsoft has released a script to scan for hotfixes that may potentially regress.

Didn't seem to change much that you noticed, that is. Microsoft has been gradually adding DRM and anti-piracy tidbits which all slow down the system and tend to phone home.
