As I'm getting my new comp without an install of windows on it, I just realised that it will be hideously unpatched when I install my old copy. My current CD is only SP1 so I'm sure I'll have thousands of trojans, viruses and other crap on my computer before I even get to the windows update screen.

Does anyone know where I can get all the patches for XP as part of one big batch? This is really annoying me, may just have to run the whole thing in Kubuntu and see if I can get Wine to run my games a bit better :D

just pop the firewall on before you stick it online - you'll be fine just running the Windows Update then :D

Failing that, just download SP2 and install that before doing aything
