News Home PCs to get key Windows fix

Try to stay calm people. I know this is the event of the millenium so far, but lets try and stay focused, eh?

From the beeb:

Home PC users will be able to get one of Microsoft's biggest software overhauls ever later this week.
The software giant has told BBC News Online that its SP2 security patch will be put on servers that automatically update home PCs as from Wednesday.

The consumer version is smaller than the business edition released to corporate customers in early August.

The software updates Windows XP and fixes many security loopholes exploited by viruses and malicious hackers.

More here. But of course, you may want to forgo the white knuckle ride experience that is SP2 for the time being...
