At least with SUS, it should be considered a new updated, and then have to be approved before it will be deployed... (I hope  )

ja, here's a quote from our interal memorandum - pretty strong words:
Quote:
Microsoft XP Service Pack 2 will automatically be downloaded to your workstation when released causing you serious internal application issues. Once again the XP Service pack 2 must not be installed to a desktop or laptop unless for official testing reasons.

... Automatic Updates in Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Home Edition can keep your computer up to date with the latest hotfixes. However, service packs are not automatically deployed at this time. You will need to visit the Windows Update website manually to install the Service Pack.

Ok, before you take the bet - go to windows update and try to make sense of this official microsoft statement:
Quote:
What can you do now to ensure you get Windows XP Service Pack 2?
-
The best way to get Windows XP Service Pack 2 is by using the Automatic Updates feature in Windows XP. Visit the Protect Your PC site to let us turn it on for you or follow three manual steps—either way you’ll get Service Pack 2 automatically as Microsoft releases it. Turning on Automatic Updates today allows your PC to begin downloading important updates automatically, including the latest version of Windows Update. It also ensures you will receive future updates, such as Service Pack 2.

Not a big deal. I already dress up like that at home. I might get some stares from my office mates, however.
