Late last week, Microsoft posted an interesting document outlining its release plans for various Windows version service packs, prompting reports that Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), originally due late this year, was being delayed until late 2004. That's because the page lists "Q3 2004" as the XP SP2 release date. A little fact checking goes a long way, however, and after conferring with various Microsoft representatives, I've confirmed that the Q3 2004 date is, indeed a typo. That's the good news. The bad news is that the service pack is still shipping a lot later than originally expected: It won't be out until the first half of 2004.

This is really long  :(

Yes indeed. It is really frustrating. I was going to buy a ViewSonic smart display monitor, so two users (by the desktop monitor and the smart display monitor) can access the computer (Windows XP SP2). but now i have to wait for almost another year...
