Is Windows 2000 SP 4 out yet?

A friend told me that he thought it was out, I can't find it anywhere on MS site. Does anyone else have this? Post a link please.

It still shows SP3 on MS's site *shrug*

Never understood the compulsion to jump on a new service pack right after its released

most times it just borks your machine as MS Service Packs are renowned for being loaded with bugs.
I tend to wait a few months for them to work out the kinks...
Oh wait... no go ahead just make sure to report all your bugs and crashes ... that way when I get it, it will be more stable

Vass

I only put it on my machine just for that reason. I want to see what happens. So far so good (its only been about an hour though).

Meese is takin' one for the team.

Me, I'm with Vass - I think I'll wait for service pack 4a before I install it.

I've got 25 machines plus to W2K domain controllers here. My machine is the goat. You know I want to make sure SP4 is stable before I roll it out. I'll let you know if anything "strange" happens.

I like to wait on service packs. But i am also very carefull not to install a service pack that is not available on Microsofts website. I would also never install a service pack on my servers that i did not get from microsoft. I thought SP4 was not due out until late summer, early fall.
