Windows XP Service Pack 2 is released - in all its 250+MB glory.
This patch works on all versions of Windows XP and does not check for pirated keys. It is highly recommended for ALL users to update, since SP2 provides a lot of core changes to the operating system.
Details about the service pack are listed here.
A direct download link can be found here.

Thank god they fixed the whole wireless mess they made. Here's a good question though: Let's say you are going to deploy this over 100 PC's all sharing files and printers. By default when you install the service pack, file and printer sharing are disabled in the firewall, pings are blocked, our VNC connections are all denied. To reset all of the settings on evey PC is going to be a pain. Is there a way to modify any of this before my SUS push? It's going to be chaos when no one can print after all of the installs go through. All of my PC's with network shares are going to choke too.

If it was released, how come it doesn't show up on windows update?

because they haven't release the service pack 2 for individual users yet, the above link are only for it professionals and developers installing on multiple computers in a net work
noticed how they said "This installation package is intended for IT professionals and developers downloading and installing on multiple computers on a network. If you're updating just one computer, please visit http://www.microsoft.com/protect."
and also "DO NOT CLICK DOWNLOAD IF YOU ARE UPDATING JUST ONE COMPUTER: A smaller, more appropriate download will be available soon on Windows Update. To receive this download, turn on the Automatic Updates feature in Windows XP to receive an optimized download of SP2. Please visit Protect Your PC for more information on receiving Windows XP SP2."

This patch actually works even if you're updating just one computer. The reason they tell you not to is because a tailor-made patch for your computer will be a lot smaller in size. This patch is so big partially because it's a full patch that works across all versions of XP.
Installing it as I speak.
