Today, April 12, 2005 sees the ability of the optional XP blocking tool, which prevents Microsoft's XP Service Pack 2 from being downloaded, expire. This means if you had selected the option to delay the download and installation of SP2, you can no longer do so. Computers that do not have SP2 installed or downloaded will have copies of 200+ MB update downloaded to their computers, waiting to be installed. According to Because of some problems people have experienced installing SP2, especially in a corporate setting where the update can conflict with thousands of computers that need the update, many IT professionals choose to delay the installation of SP2. After today, they can still hold off on installing the update, but if they have Automatic Update turned on, they cannot delay the update package being downloaded to their computers.
