Windows Xp Sp2 Will Ship Before Q3 2004

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...
