Microsoft is alerting customers that it will soon start delivering Windows XP Service Pack 2 to all customers using Automatic Update, whether they want it or not.

autoupdate needs to be turn off..... but i wounder if MS is willing to give SP2 CD free to its customer then why would one want not to secure his/her PC??

It's a problem for businesses who wld like to use any s/w only after testing it thoroughly for compatibility etc. etc. Plsu it would be quite a problem for them to ensure that SP2 is properly installed on ALL the machines they use/care about. That's why MS gave them a leeway period so they can do whatever they want to, to get ready for SP2. For home users..it's not a problem, or a big concern newayz.
