A number of new features in Windows XP Service Pack 2 make it easier for users to maintain their computers. Updates are automatic, patches are smaller and can be removed, and there is a centralized user interface for all security-related maintenance.
W indows Update 5
Windows XP Service Pack 2 uses a new version of the Windows Update Web site, and simplified options for automatic updating. The Express Install option on the Windows Update 5 site lets the user quickly scan for, download, and install only the critical and security updates his computer needs.
The Automatic Updates control panel allows the user to update the computer automatically at scheduled times, which makes maintenance a set-and-forget activity. Users can also choose to download updates automatically but not install them, just get notification of update availability, or handle updates manually.
