Microsoft has distributed enough copies of Service Pack 1 to update nearly one-fifth of the installed base of Windows Server 2003, the company estimated on Thursday.
According to Microsoft, there have been more than 1.2 million downloads of SP1 since the service pack was released to manufacturing on March 30.
Citing IDC research estimates, Microsoft said the current installed base for the two-year-old server product is 6.73 million. "The more than 1.2 million SP1 downloads in less than two months represents about 18 percent of the total Windows Server 2003 installed base," a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement e-mailed to reporters.
