The network installation version has been available since Aug. Microsoft's efforts to roll out SP2 this month have been complicated by IT complaints that Microsoft hadn't given them enough time to block their client systems from automatically installing the service pack, which is known to break at least 50 commercial applications. Microsoft executives say the timing will vary based on location, network traffic and other factors. In addition to the usual bug and security fixes, the service pack features a new Windows Firewall, a Windows Security Center dashboard, pop-up blocking, spyware protections and improvements to the security of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express.Īlthough the automatic updating is beginning for Windows XP Professional, not all systems will get the service pack today. Windows XP SP2 is a major security overhaul of Microsoft's flagship client operating system. Microsoft took the final major online step in distributing Windows XP Service Pack 2 on Wednesday by posting the service pack to Windows Update and starting the distribution to Windows XP Professional customers via Automatic Update.
