Microsoft XP SP2 blog watch

InternetNews | at | by Mike

Microsoft watchers turn to the ranks of the software company's employee bloggers for info that never makes it into the notoriously tight-lipped company's official communications. But they'd better hurry: Posts can disappear as quickly as they spread across the Web.

According to the blog, Redmond will begin a low-volume release in English via Automatic Update, initially limited to those who have downloaded installed pre-release versions.

Mid-August, business customers who use Software Update Services will begin to be prompted to do the download. By the end of August, Microsoft expects to make its downloads available to all, with a limit of 2.5 million downloads a day.
