Windows 2000 SP4 leaks on Web

A link to the long-awaited fourth service pack for Windows 2000 appears to have been posted on Microsoft's site, but the software giant says it knows nothing about it

The final version of Service Pack 4 (SP4) for Windows 2000, which is designed to iron out more than 600 security, performance and reliability issues contained in the software, appears to have been posted on Microsoft's Web site.

However, so far, there is no mention of it on Microsoft's site apart from the existence of the 129MB file, and Microsoft itself seemed confused on Thursday morning about the download.

Forum site Neowin posted a link to the SP4 download on Wednesday, claiming it to be the final release. Microsoft could not confirm that the download was the final version of SP4. A Microsoft spokesman told ZDNet UK: "SP4 is due relatively soon," but declined to give a public release date.

A beta version of SP4 has been available to testers since October 2002, two months after the final version of Service Pack 3 was made public. SP4 contains all the bug fixes that were included in previous service packs, so if users have not installed any of the older service packs, SP4 will bring their operating systems up to date.
