SP1 was given in Digit December 2002 Mindware CD, and SP2 will, hopefully, be given in this September's CD.

You can order Windows XP Pro/Home SP2 on CD to be delivered to you free of charge by MICROSOFT

Here's the link-

By the way Mahendran, Service Packs are cumuative. So if you install SP2, you need not install SP1. September cd will probabely include SP2 & you might as well wait a few more days rather than installing SP1.

rc = release candidate...means it still has bugs and will not be the final sp2.this however does not mean sp2 is not buggy :p

Yes, SP2 is very stable. I downloaded SP2 on 10th August itself & after almost one month of usage I will definately give a thumbs up to SP2.
