There are no OK's for pirated versions of XP to get SP2. SP2 RC2 (beta) is available at other web sites. But for updates, the V5 updater is required. There is a compliance check for authencity of the Windows XP installation. Those that cannot be verified are refused the V5 updater installation.

and let the M$ / Gates bashing begin! Looks like SP2 will be good overall for the 99% of computer users who don't know *what* is going on in their machines.
