From Associated Press

Microsoft Corp. will release in August a major update to the Windows XP computer operating system that focuses on boosting protection against malicious intrusions.

The release of the free update, called Service Pack 2, was promised as early as June but has been delayed by last-minute changes, including those needed to ensure that security precautions don’t interfere with other applications.

Windows XP users can go to Microsoft’s security website to get the download once it is available, and Microsoft will send CDs to people who request them.
