SP1 was given in Digit December 2002 Mindware CD, and SP2 will, hopefully, be given in this September's CD.

You can order Windows XP Pro/Home SP2 on CD to be delivered to you free of charge by MICROSOFT

Here's the link-

By the way Mahendran, Service Packs are cumuative. So if you install SP2, you need not install SP1. September cd will probabely include SP2 & you might as well wait a few more days rather than installing SP1.

I suggest u just install windows Sp 1 and wait till Sp2 is stable..right now its not worth to install....

Ok before installing service pack .. make sure that ur windows is not a pirated version or else you wont be able to install SP unless u change the PID's !!

Digit August DVD has Winxp SP II RC, plz let me know what does RC means??

 

[IG]

rc = release candidate...means it still has bugs and will not be the final sp2.this however does not mean sp2 is not buggy

@freshseasons sorry to burst ur bubble but sp2 final is out .. and stable

Yes, SP2 is very stable. I downloaded SP2 on 10th August itself & after almost one month of usage I will definately give a thumbs up to SP2.
