Security is of large interest these days. With viruses, worms, and holes in secuirty being found all the time, new updates have to be made available. Microsoft has released a major update to the Windows XP operating system, XP Service Pack 2. The hold back though is that it is an extremely large download. For those on dial up, it can be a pain to wait for it download. Microsoft though has made the service pack available through the mail with 4-6 week delivery, with free shipping. I ordered one even though I have broadband service, just to have an official copy for backup. Click Here to sign up for a copy.
