Microsoft today is releasing Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) to XP Professional Edition users as expected, but the company made the unexpected announcement that it was also shipping the massive update to all XP users via Windows Update on Wednesday as well. Additionally, XP users are now able to order the Windows XP SP2 CD-ROM, free of charge. This means that virtually all 300 million XP users will now have access to the long-awaited security update.
