Microsoft Pushes SP2 to Home Users
As corporate I.T. departments weigh the pros and cons of installing Microsoft's update for machines running the XP operating system -- Service Pack 2 -- the software maker continues its push to get home users to update immediately. Last week, Microsoft announced that users of would automatically receive Edition 2005 of the TabletPC operating system along with SP2.
In addition, Microsoft has made a free CD-ROM with the whole SP2 download available to anyone who asks. The landing page of its Web site continues to tout the three ways customers can receive the update: through using the automatic update feature of their operating system, through direct download, or by signing up to receive the CD-ROM.
