Based on customer feedback, Microsoft has changed the date on which Automatic Updates (AU) and Windows Update (WU) will deliver Windows XP SP2 regardless of the presence of the blocking mechanism. This change will provide customers a greater window of time to enable them to plan and deploy Windows XP SP2. AU and WU will now continue to honor the blocking mechanism that prevents the offering of Windows XP SP2 until Tuesday 12 April 2005. Beginning on Tuesday 12 April 2005 AU and WU will deliver SP2 regardless of the presence of the blocking mechanism. Note that this is also the scheduled day for a monthly cumulative security update. | ||

I don't get it, why don't these admins just disable automatic updates on the computers? Or point it to their own SUS server. Then they can hold of on SP2 as long as they want. They'd just have to manually deploy out any patches released between now and whenever they do roll out SP2.
Plus, how many months did MS have SP2 available for testing?! |
