ENT News | at | by Mike
Responding to pressure from users to release a packaged update for Windows XP as the delivery date for Service Pack 2 has fallen to mid-2004, Microsoft on Wednesday posted a rollup package of updates for the client operating system.
Update Rollup 1 for Windows XP is "a cumulative set of hotfixes, security patches, critical updates, and updates that are packaged together for easy deployment," according to Microsoft's Knowledge Base article for the rollup. That definition used to apply to service packs, but Microsoft has bigger plans for Windows XP SP2, which is supposed to enhance the security profile of the operating system among other feature improvements.
