I am sure that some of the IT administrators and techs have assembled
(even slip-streamed) post-SP2 updates and files. Search and ask around.
AFAIK, there has been at least 60+ post-SP2 updates. We install them in
batches of 15, re-booting with each 15th update sorted according to date.
Tedious...yes. Hope SP3 for Windows XP comes out soon. |

Give up that hope. I don't think you'll ever see a SP3 for XP, not
with Vista released.
I'm pretty sure MS has even said there won't be another SP release for
XP. >> Stay informed about: Is there a file for updates since SP2? |

Untrue, that's not been said. Currently one is planned. Of course that can
change.
