Due to feedback and reviews of the feasibility and usability of the Windows Security Rollup Packages, Microsoft has decided that we will not be releasing any further updates for Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server 4.xx in the foreseeable future. Windows XP (Professional and Home) Service Pack 2 will be released in mid-2004. The Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 release date has been moved from late-2003 to the first quarter of 2004.
