Whilst we all know that XP is the most stable OS to date, there are times
when one may need to re-install the OS from scratch - with this in mind, plus
the fact that service pack 2 is rumoured to be approx. 480mb in size, I was
wondering if Microsoft are planning to make a 'FULL' download available to
those of us lucky enough to have high bandwith connections. As I for one do
not wish to have to re-download XPSP2 if I ever have to re-install the OS -
this would be easier if I could download SP2 and burn it to CD.

Some kind of reply through this forum would be appreciated...
