Hi
Is anybody willing to tell me exactly when XP home users in the UK will get
the SP2 download. All Microsoft says is sometime.....???

Provided AutoUpdate is turned on, users with XP Home are getting it now.
Because the AutoUpdate site is set to only allow so many per day, all I can
say is keep an eye on your PC, many people have already received it.

Thanks Joan at least we know that it has reached the UK as well as the US.
Perhaps what I should have said was, "When will it reach the last of the UK
XP home users?"
Today, tomorrow or next month?

Don't wait for auto update to deliver it to you, download it from Microsoft
direct... follow this link and ignore the bit about it being for 'IT
professionals' and it being for computers on a network
