MicroSoft Issues Blocker for Windows XP SP2 Update

I thought this was so damn funny, I just had to pass it on.

Microsoft has issued a blocking utility to prevent you from automatically updating your Windows system with XP SP2.

"To download and install Microsoft's free XP SP2 Blocker Tools, just hop on over to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=33517 and download Microsoft's free "XP SP2 Blocker Tools." These free tools will temporarily keep Windows Update from installing XP SP2 onto your computer for 120 days."
