Yesss!  I was wishing they'd do this, Lifesaver for users with 56k, does it include XP SP1?

Yes it includes SP1. I was apart of the team that helped test the CD.

Microsoft sends out lots of free cd's..

* surfichris remembers the 15 disc set he got for testing Office 2003 and Windows 2003 server...

lol...And I bet they are still selling a Windows XP Service Pack 1 CD.

Evil marketing scheme...

just ordered mine now, cos im banned from using the com, other tan for hw, but my parents aren't in..so....I ORDERED IT!
my dad wouldn't really trust this kinda thing if i told him about it

I wonder why is Microsoft doing this. Maybe there's some "update" that will stop our Windows from working, forcing us to buy the new one!!

what is thiss?? "conspiracy week"???

its because t heres a ridiculous ammount of effort and ppl dont have the time to DL them, especially on a 56k connection. and its part of their security solution.

The conspiracy shit's doing my head in too, but it is unusual for microsoft to be.... dare i say it.... nice?

lol.. hmm yer they r being nice here, but it is for there own good too, remember.  like if you had a program and it needed patching and the best way was to send the patch the actual customer, wouldnt u do it?

* MakaveliThaDon orders 2

fuck, didnt know about these, im gonna order 100

Sounds about right, ranicx (I'm ignoring the three posts above me )... Microsoft are not gonna be seen not sending patches out if they're important. They want to be seen as good, so although they've allowed this/these security hole(s) in in the first place, they're offering free easy patches to it/them. Typically Microsoft.

its good, dont say its bad u fool

IIIIIIIII GOOOOOOOOOTTTTT MINE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

got mine today too its really lame, but handy after formatting

cus my pc came with norton pre installed, i cant have the firewall+antivirus...how lame.......

i havnt fucking got mine yet.. fukcing m$

i got a po box and i dont feel like calling microsoft, so i'll stick to d/l ing!

I got mine it was one of the best things I've ever had for free.  it makes life on 56k much easier as I dont have to download huge files to update my computer!

The Windows Update CD is amazingly useful!

The microsoft security team had one of their chats yesterday, and after seeing the link on Neowin (30 mins after it started) I jumped in and asked if they will produce a CD with SP2 on it. I got a reply, but it was one saying that in SP2 there will be updates to the Windows Update 'thingy', and if your computer only needs 1kb out of a 1mb patch available, it'll only download part of it, making future, post-SP2 updates more user friendly. I think I remember seeing something saying that the logs of the chat will be posted on a website, I'll try and find them.

Edit: It isn't up on the site yet.

......wait for my CD
