I am curious, is this service pack SP2:
WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe

It was downloaded from the following site:
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...0-73cf11fdcdf8/WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe

I ask as it was offered on a tech site and the person who posted it is
a respected member (the moderator).

It appears that is the Release version.

Thanks for the link.

However, it's a version meant for IT departments for network installation -
not necessarily appropriate for single computer, home users. Here's the

Perhaps, but it is no different once installed than the Express
Installation or from Windows Update.
This version is also great if you want to burn SP-2 to CD for future
use or helping family and friend install the Service Pack.

Which is exactly what I did. I have it on a CD-ROM along with several
Knowledge Base files in MHT format.

I have read that this version is OK to use on single computers. The
caveat on MS' web site is aimed at pointing users towards smaller
downloads.

So, now I have the service pack, but I will hold-off for a few more
days... just to read more about the different escapades. I remember
all of the fuss about SP1. I had no problems whatsoever going from
"gold" to SP1. I hope that from SP1 to SP2 will be as painless ;-)
