It is. Well the version thats on that site is the same as the version on the microsoft site, it is for networked computers. If you wait a few weeks you will be able to get the home user version which is 60MB, i think.

*flashback to this morning*
*uninstalls SP2 beta, restarts and installs SP2*
*Pc restarts*
*screen goes blank*
*long error message*
*repeat several times*
*try to go to safe mode*
*won't*
*tries recovery*
*doesn't work*
*spends rest of day formatting and reinstalling the OS and god knows how much stuff, before using a data recovery program to try dig up the pile of stuff he had not backed up for a year*
Oh yes I love Service Pack 2.... since when has the beta (which was fine) been better than the final version of a piece of software?

It's not out yet.
Yes it is.
Well sort of anyway. Microsoft are giving it out through Windows update however a few reliable sites have been given the finished version.

Officially, it isn't unless your a PC maufacturer, then yes, it is. Domestic releases should be at the end of this month.
There are copies of the final version about on the net, I found one yesterday and to be honest, I'm not all that impressed.
Best way to find out if your PC is getting ready is to start up windows update, If the url is v4.xxxx then you on the old one, if you pointing to v5.xxx then that's where SP2 will be dilevered from.
SP2 is not available through windows update yet.
