Speaking of sp1... I haven't put on sp1 on xp yet but now there are two critical updates waiting for me:
- Windows XP Service Pack 1 (Express)*
Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) provides the latest security, reliability, and performance updates to the Windows XP family of operating systems. Windows XP SP1 is designed to ensure Windows XP platform compatibility with newly released software and hardware, and includes updates to resolve issues discovered by customers or by Microsoft's internal testing team. The maximum download size is approximately 30 MB, however the size of the download and time required may be less for computers that have had updates previously installed. To minimize the download time needed for installation, setup will only download those files which are required to bring your computer up to date. Windows XP SP1 includes Internet Explorer 6 SP1. Anti-virus software programs may interfere with the installation of Windows XP SP1. Please disable anti-virus software while installing the service pack. Microsoft recommends installing SP1 because it includes many of updates to help keep your computer secure. Once you have installed the service pack you should check back for additional updates.
- Q329834: Security Update (Windows XP)
This update resolves the "Unchecked Buffer in PPTP Implementation Could Enable Denial of Service" security vulnerability in Windows XP and Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1). Download now to prevent an attacker from disrupting service on a server that offers private networking and uses the PPTP protocol.
Notice the blurb about sp1 in the 2nd update... Should I not install that without first installing sp1?
