Beta testers have had it for a little while.
If it follows the usual pattern, you're looking at six months after the OS was released, so that would give us a date around end of March.
Oh and be careful of the sites offering 'WinXP Service Pack 1' as a download.
Along with the usual warnings about not knowing what it contains if it didn't come directly from MS, there are a few downloads which are in fact nothing more than a collection of Hotfixes - Hotfixes that should only really be installed if you are having the specific problem they address.

Thanx bladerunner. I'll be awaiting the service pack. I'll keep checking at www.microsoft.com too!
