[vox] [OT] Length of time to infect a Windows computer?

[Carl McCabe]

One option is that M$ will ship you a cd with SP2 for (believe it or not) free.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default.mspx

I don't know much about ResNet, but it would be a nice service if they
would get a bunch of these cds and have them available so that users
to update their computers.  Another believe-it-or-not: the M$ order
website explicitly says "After you have installed Service Pack 2,
Microsoft encourages you to give this CD to a friend or family member
using Windows XP".

Of course it would be even cooler if ResNet would get a bunch of
Linux/*BSD cds and help everybody install those, but that's another
story...
