Thanks to DJ Prem for the heads up

Dear Microsoft Customer,

Soon, Microsoft will make available to beta testers a pre-release copy of Service Pack 2 for Windows XP.

As one of our valued customers, we'd like to invite you to participate in the Windows XP SP2 Beta Program. Your participation is completely voluntary. Service Pack 2 Beta Program participants will preview Service Pack 2 software and have the opportunity to
provide Microsoft with invaluable feedback as we continue work on this important release.

What is Windows XP SP2?

Windows XP SP2 will include many security and performance enhancements developed since the October, 2001 release of Windows XP. In
addition, Windows XP SP2 will contain new "security technologies" specifically designed to help you protect your computer from
malicious attacks, including port-based and e-mail attacks, malicious Web content and buffer overrun based attacks.
Other planned changes for Service Pack 2 include:

  • An enhanced personal firewall with improved features designed to better secure your personal computer.
  • Security Enhancements to Internet Explorer and Outlook Express
  • Support for new processor technology to further protect your machine from potential exploits.
  • Improved Windows Update support designed to make it easier than ever to help keep your system secure and up to date.
