Attn Windows XP Users: SP1 support ends today

[gbm85]

This patch Tuesday (October 10, 2006) will be last time that Microsoft releases updates for computers running Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or SP1a. To continue receiving security and other updates, users must upgrade to Service Pack 2. Users without access to a high-speed Internet connection may order a CD from Microsoft for a small charge.

Please do the rest of the Internet a favor, and update your service pack today.

You can check what version of XP you are running by doing the following:

From Start, go to All Programs

Then from All Programs, click on Accessories

From Accessories, click on System Tools

Scroll down the System Tools menu and click on System Information

On the System Information summary, it should show what build version you have of Windwos XP (whether it be Home Ed or Professional.)

Mine has Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600 (Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition.)

If you already have the SP2, you're good to go.:)
