Vnunet reports that Microsoft has confirmed that there will be no equivalents of its Windows XP Service Pack 2 to boost security on earlier operating systems.
The announcement leaves the 50 per cent of Microsoft customers not currently using XP with the choice of upgrading or relying on platforms that will become increasingly less secure.

they've already stated that there will be no more service packs for 2k. and to be honest i don't think there are any 2k users who care, we'll still get windows updates and there's 1 security rollup to come in place of sp5. the unwanted 'features' of xp that would be introduced in a following service pack are ones that are not wanted anyway. |
