【分享】Windows XP SP2 Build 2177 Nfo

OK, here's the rundown for 2177 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040729-2314):

IE: 6.0.2900.2177. It's now known as "Internet Explorer 6 for Windows XP Service Pack 2" or some other ridiculously long name marketing and legal dreamt up.
MSJVM: not included.
DirectX: 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
WMP: 9.00.00.3250
Movie Maker: 2.1.4026.0
.NET Framework: not included
Windows Update components: 5.4.3790.2177
Remote Desktop Connection: 5.1.2600.2177
BITS: 6.6.2600.2177. MSDN calls this BITS 2.0.
XML Parser: 8.50.2162 (msxml3.dll). Probably safe to call this XML 3.0 SP5.
MDAC: 2.81.1117.0
Windows Messenger: 4.7.3000
MSN: MSN 9 stub installer included.
Windows Installer: 3.00.3790.2177

Other notes of interest: The network install weighs in around 265 MB, but it is anticipated that most users will use Automatic Updates or Windows Update to install, in which case the relevant files will total about 100 MB. BITS will be used to download these components so the download will only consume your unused bandwidth. The updated support tools include BITSAdmin 2.0 and a newer version of netdom, but most everything else remains the same. Retail CD's slipstreamed with SP2 will differ slightly from homebrew slipstreams, mostly in directories outside of /i386. The /DOTNETFX directory will include .NET Framework 1.1. Also, the /CMPNENTS (CD2) directory will now include files for Tablet PC 2005 (Lonestar) and Media Center 2004 (Harmony). However, making your own MCE slipstream will not be supported; you will need to obtain updated CD2 files from your OEM.

I won't delve too deeply into the enormous amount of new and updated features included in SP2. The firewall, popup blocker, and Security Center all come to mind, as well as tons of smaller fixes to help protect your computer. The bottom line is: install SP2 on your computer and urge everyone you know to do the same.

A number of keys and key ranges are blocked with SP2, however, legitimate users will have no problems updating. If you do have problems installing SP2, Microsoft's How To Tell site has specific information to help you.
