The cd has to be the best choice for dialup folks, especially the ones in regions where they pay for download time, etc.

The upgrade should only be about 65MB on an up to date SP2
system.
WinXP SP3 has not been released.
When it is released, it will be offered to your machine via
Automatic Updates.
Thanks for the warning, you can be damn sure I will NEVER
take advantage of something this huge with the potential for
so much grief via automatic updates!
It isn't the size, even though that large a file is a LONG download
so I would order a CD, it is that I would never allow autoupdate to
attempt such as thing. Call me paranoid but I have very little
confidence in MS's ability to "do it right the first time". e.g., I
NEVER install critical updates right away, and never all of them at
once. I lurk here and other places to see what early updaters
experience. I've already stated why I wouldn't do an SP3 for any
reason, so I don't need to repeat it.
