Microsoft Quietly Releases Windows 2003 SP2

Posted by kdawson on 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.

    At long last! Finally we can un-wire all those unsightly server rooms and start providing data in the same style that we consume it. I for one welcome our new servers-in-beds overlords.

    Quietly releases?

    Posting it here certainly made it a lot noisier.

    When you install a new xp sp2 system there is a lot of updates that you need to.
    You should start with a fresh install of Vista first, there are a lot less patches available right now so it will go quicker. :-)
