I know! Fortunately, I have relatively high-speed access at home, so it did not take too long - under an hour or so.

I plan on installing it tomorrow (after a critical presentation I have in the morning ... do not want any mishaps on my laptop in case anything goes awry with the install!)

its only 75MB because it determines what your computer needs, before downloading some more

The stand-alone full install is larger as a result. Note that you can get the update on a CD free of charge from Microsoft (no shipping costs either) - there is an order page available on their web site. Of course, you have to be a legal owner of XP! :)

Yeah. The following is where I got it from:

This download link was available on August 10th.

funny, I downloaded it on my computer when they posted it on the intranet at work... then 3 days later they sent out an email to everyone saying not to install SP2 because they wanted to test it or something. Brilliant.

Yeah, there are a number of programs that do not work well with it. It is best to check out this list on the Microsoft web site before doing the install ...
