It's the first part of the most common pirate activation code for Windows XP. It's been around since XP was released (and even before that;)), so Microsoft blocked the SP1 update for the people who use it.

Horary...for us Windows XP Service Pack 2 Beta testers. There a new build available to download now with loads of fixes and new features. One of them is a Security Center like Mcafee Security Center, which informs of your firewall, auto-update and anti-virus Status. If you want to check out some pictures of it, check at Neowin and I should have some up tomorrow once its finish downloading.

Tester Beware of the network install size: 345.4MB. [Hence the big size because it can be applied to Media Center Edition and Tablet PC's]

In addition, here a link for anyone who wants an UXtheme.dll for it.

unless ur a tester, theres no reason to try and upgrade. its not drastically different, and no REAL feature changes. i  dont see why everyone wants to rush to get it.
