SP2 Not Available For Download

[KIR]

As of right now, 13 Aug, 4:30PM PDT, when I go to Windows Update it checks
for available updates and comes back saying there are no updates available
for download. I have automatic update activated and nothing has come
through. Why? I see by other posts here that SP2 is being downloaded by
others. Why can't I?

The download will happen automatically, and it has been phased in. So, for
example, computers that had a beta or preview version installed on them get
the update at a different point in time from those that are still running
SP1. Also, some network administrators have downloaded the full network
install version and pushed it out to their network. But if you've activated
Automatic Update, you're doing the right thing, and it will happen.
