    I downloaded the batch file and installed it. Then went to windows update and a small one came through. Restart. Windows update, another small one. Restart. Windows update again and 495 meg file, sp2. Took about half hour no problems installing and useing.
    I think it will be on ms technet and msdn today as well.

    One word of warning, though.
    It's in beta stages, so it's not recommended to be installed on main computer.

    Quick SP2 question - will it instal without SP1 (it would never instal on my system without screwing up Windows Mail and blue screening) ?

    All Windows Service Packs will incorporate the previous one(s), and so can be installed on their own. To confuse things, Office Service Packs usually do require the previous ones to be installed.
