It was an ambitious, self-imposed goal -- distribute 100 million copies of Windows XP Service Pack 2 within two months of the critical security update's release. On Wednesday, Microsoft declared success.
"In just two months, more than 106 million copies of Windows XP SP2 have been distributed around the world," a company spokesman said in an e-mail to reporters. "Approximately 90 million were downloaded via Automatic Update, Windows Update and the Download Center. Another 16 million were distributed via CDs, either ordered from Microsoft or distributed by Microsoft via various venues."
