Quick Question on Windows Update

[ComputerBox34]

I just uninstalled SP2 RC2 since the retail version of SP2 is coming out this month and according to the "rules" you need to uninstall the beta version of SP2. Anyway, instead of Windows Update sending me too v4.windowsupdate.com, it's sending me too v5.windowsupdate.com. This happening to anyone else who has SP1?

Nope, still going to v4. If I go to v5 I get this

Thanks, I thought Microsoft was putting SP1 on the new version of Windows Update to save resorces or something and prepare for the release of SP2.

Speaking of which, Microsoft keeps dragging its heels in getting SP2 official. What a shame; it is so nice, and contains some of the security fixes we long for.
