How do I obtain XP home XP2 update in Australia.

Not the Beta version which I have and seems to work OK.

From reading your post you guys seem to have it already.

See DMG's post

As well, it's called Windows XP *SP2* - for Service Pack 2, not XP2

There's just one teensy problem with that - it doesn't show up on
WindowsUpdate yet!

Cheers,

It IS available for everyone. You can manually download it from their
web site if you like. 277 megs at:

Sorry but wrong. 277megs.

Actually, if you want to be exact, it is 278,927,592K long.
 
Did you even read what was being discussed?

Yes I did. To quote the rubbish YOU wrote once more:

Ergo, you were talking rubbish.
I know that it's on MS's site, I got it the first day it was released.

We were talking about the availability on Windows Update.

Microsoft.

"it is 278,927,592K long". K??? That makes it nearly 300 GIGAbytes! How
long did THAT take to download? ;-)

For mine the File Properties say "266M (278,927,592 bytes)". Remember that
1M is not 1,000,000, it is 2*20, i.e. 1,048,576.

Ooops: 1M is 2**20, not 2*20.

Sigh..... OK the "b" was missed. I guess you know what I meant however.

That's right so it is almost 273megs long. I was wrong saying 277 but I was
slightly closer! :)

And this link, on MS,
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...BE-3B8E-4F30-8245-9E368D3CDB5A&displaylang=en

shows a size of 272391KB which is *266* MB so I don't know where the hell
you're getting 277 MB from, it sure ain't on the MS site.

Unsure why you went to the wrong link but I got mine from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...be-3b8e-4f30-8245-9e368d3cdb5a&DisplayLang=en

and I was correct. It is 278,927,592Kb long which is actually 273megs long,
not 277 as I said before.

Unsure WHY you went to the wrong spot but that link I posted is where
everyone is getting it from.

Umm, it isn't that long, as according to the long number you give, that would be 273GBs: remove the "Kb" at the end, and you'd be correct.
