Yeah.  I got that CD of general updates/patches for the older OSes 
that they gave away some time ago.  But, as you say, the SP2 thing 
won't be available that way for a month or more yet.  In which case 
that mag with the big insert of comments and instructions may be a 
better way to go, especially if you want the security improvements 
now.
