Around 9 August there was a MS site being tested for ordering the
CD. Some said that was just a test and orders would not be
shipped. However, as usually happens, the naysayers were wrong.
That particular site remained active for several days and those
lucky enough to place an order now have SP2 on CD.

If you check the version number on some of the system files (like
ntoskrnl.exe), the version should be similar to 5.1.2600.2180.

That will verify the version of the build for you.
 
Where do you order it from?
