Hello all,
I was given an older Dell which I reformated and plan on using as a glorified word processor. I would however like to update the service packs. Microsoft no longer supports XP and their site is useless for any downloads for SP 1,2 .
Does anyone have a link to where I can update XP Pro?
Thank you in advance.

Windows Update should do the trick. Though it has been a while since I used XP.

Depends on what drivers you need. Most stuff should work right out of the box. It's no worse than the difference between XP and Win7 really. Linux isn't the scary beast some people make it out to be. In fact the learning curve on a lot of distros is very small.
