Is it possible to order Service Packs on CD instead of downloading?

**MrHope** · 12-23-2007

Hello good people.

Is is possible to recieve Service Packs, hotfixes/bugfixes on a CD-ROM instead of via downloads?

I have a computer that will remain disconnected from the internet, but will need upgrades in the future. Since I don't have adequate firewall protection, and prefer to keep the computer off the net, I'd like to get the system updates via postal mail.

Is this possible?

Hi MrHope,

I'm afraid that it is not possible yet. When the final SP1 version is released to the public through a normal Windows Update in the rumored first part of 2008, you should be able to order them through Microsoft's website.

Sorry,
Shawn
