Microsoft delays Automatic Update rollout of XP SP2
WinNetMag | at | by Mike
Microsoft has decided to suspend the rollout of Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) via Automatic Updates in order to provide its corporate customers with more time to install an SP2 download blocking mechanism that the company provided last week. For this reason, XP Home users will start receiving XP SP2 via Automatic Updates starting on Thursday, August 18, while XP Professional users will start receiving the update via Automatic Updates on Thursday, August 25. Under the original schedule, both sets of users would have started receiving the update today.
