I am not questioning Mr. Jones at all. Somtimes the right hand knows
nothing of what the left is up to.

What does this statement mean then?:

"UPDATE: Time is running out! Please note that the mechanism to
temporarily disable delivery of Windows XP SP2 is only available for a
period of 240 days (8 months) from August 16, 2004. At the end of this
period (after April 12, 2005), Windows XP SP2 will be delivered to all
Windows XP and Windows XP Service Pack 1 systems."

And this one?:

"4/12/2005 - Windows XP SP2 will be delivered to all Windows XP and
Windows XP Service Pack 1 systems."
