Maybe - see www.microsoft.com/windows2000/ For XP, you can still get the free SP2 CD_ROM mailed to you. > 6. There is a trick to save the hotfixes: The other way is to visit Microsoft.com's IT section, where there's a WindowsUpdate-look-alike for IT guys to download all of the fixes, updates, etc. so they can be applied offline for each OS (98 through 2003).
