SP2 w/o SP1?

[Paul Isaacs]

I am running XP Home and never installed SP1. I only find SP1 listed
inWindow Update. Do I need to install it first before the SP2 install will
appear?

You don't have to install SP1, you can install SP2.

Microsoft is limiting the daily number of SP-2 downloads. You may get SP-2 soon
or you can wait days. For more information, see FAQ #7:
