Unfazed by distribution hiccups and noisy security skeptics, Microsoft is moving full steam ahead with the international rollout of Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). One month after English language versions of the service pack shipped to manufacturers, the software giant released SP2 to manufacturing in German, Japanese, Korean, simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese.

"[We are] on track to localize the software into 25 different languages within two months of RTM," a Microsoft spokesman told internetnews.com.
