Need to download Win XP SP2

[Guest]

Dear people

I need to download Win XP SP2.
I do not have Win XP installed on my pc, nor I am interested in installing it.
I use win 98 and linux

However I need to support people who have Win XP, So I need SP2 so I can
install it on their systems.

Some of them have no internet connection and others are technically
illiterate.

So would someone be so kind as to send me the correct URL, so I can download
it and then burn it in a CD.

Thank You
Computer Systems Engineer

In regards to your answer, you can download it, but it is the developer
download at a 266 MB file. If your friends do not have Internet Connections
there is no use for the SP2 to be installed on their machines.

Well, you can always download the SP2 from MS. Here's the link to the
download page:
"http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...be-3b8e-4f30-8245-9e368d3cdb5a&DisplayLang=en".

Also, you can try one of the many alternative links on this page:

Very bad and potentially dangerous idea.
NEVER get something as important as a Service Pack anywhere but
Microsoft.
There is no guarantee the person who is NOT authorized to distribute
may have done to the file after he got it but before you get it.

There are NO authorized sources outside Microsoft for getting SP-2.
