It just means SP3 is locked down, ie it is far enough through the beta
cycle that they arent adding any more to it. So it is around the corner,
although we might not be up to the corner yet.

Subject: Q320206 and SP4

Anyone else noticed that HFNetchk is showing machines unpatched with
Q320206.... Which is MS02-024.... However the patch is
Q320206_W2K_SP4_X86_EN.exe available at
<http://www.microsoft.com/Windows2000/downloads/security/q320206/downloa
d.asp> which is for POST SP3 machines....

Have I been asleep? There is no SP3 as of today is there... so is this a
typo at Moft HQ or a premature hotfix release? I.e. is SP3 round the
corner?

Incidentally, I also notice that it is showing up in Windows Update.....

Cheers

Michael
