More Information
Before PCs and operating systems were regularly updated over the Internet, they were updated using physical CD-ROMs. Windows XP updates were stored on Windows XP Service Pack CDs. These CDs contained a number of files and folders, including a data file used to verify the Service Pack. On the Windows XP Service Pack 2 disc, this Service Pack identification file was named WIN51IP.SP2 (Windows XP SP2 Professional Edition) or WIN51IC.SP2 (Windows XP SP2 Home Edition).
Microsoft released Windows XP Service Pack 2 on August 25, 2004. The many network security improvements it contained were collectively codenamed Springboard and included a major upgrade to Windows Firewall.
