SP2 is due to be available via Automatic Update on August 25th.

It is however already available from their website, but I must caution youon
a few things:

1. The install file available at the MS site is approx. 260MB.

2. Many people have had problems after installing SP2. Make sure that all
the programs you use are totally updated and compatible with SP2 before you
install it.

There are lists of programs that either behave differently in SP2 or do not
work at all in SP2. I can't seem to remember the KB article number for them
so if anybody replies to this please provide them.
