I just downloaded it because i have access to dsl while on holiday! And ordered the CD too, but in my part of the world, it will take a few weeks!
i got mine as well, i ordered just for the sake of making microsoft pay for postage.
here's what i found:
1. you cannot use this cd to slipstream with. you need to download the sp2 online if you want to do that (the cd doesn't include update.exe)
2. it seems to work best if it is slipstreamed in and then do a fresh load of xp with sp2. when i just updated and existing installation the ms firewall wouldn't work and it seemed slow, as others have reported.
my xp pro sp2 slipstream seems to work well. it also seems they have already fixed some of the sharing issues that were in the cd sp2 in the downloadable version.
Thank's inferno_gn now I can give some CD to friends with Dial Up.Quote:

We got 2 CDs in fridays mail,, I figure I saved 1.00 not burning it myself LOL
And they even siad you can give the Cd to a friend so they can update their copy of Win XP
I tried SP 2 on a clean install before I installed any third party drivers and it broke my system, My DVD/cdrwo combo drive could not recognize cds
I have the Cd on the way
I Did a clean install of XP pro SP1, Then Ran The SP2 CD Before Installing ANY third party Apps or drivers.Quote:

And a few other apps, Open Office Ect, No Problems.
UNTIL haha I Added Norton System works 2003,Then, All my FOLDER icons looked like a snowy picture on a TV with no antenna.
Videos played like Xray or ghost images,{mediaplayer9} And In Some Apps the sound waves used Like AOLs "welcome" wave Played at 20X the normal speed,, Like a chipmonk on crack~!!!
So,,, I Re-Ran The Install Minus the norton, And Everything wors great.

Mine arrived today, Airmail from Hong Kong, with a Deutsche Post Customs Declaration sticker on it - they thought it was going to Austria ?
Wooohooo mine arrived this morning. Installed on the boss's PC :devil: and so far no problems....
Hey I got mines today, 11 of them. I ordered 12 but I think the mail man took one, faget mailman. But I don't care, time to get them out for friends with dial up and to some that don't want to waste a CD-R.Quote:
