Internet2, is it all hype or is it going to be the information super highway of tomorrow? That is hard to say. However in the mean time, Microsoft will be using Internet2 for Service Pack 2 delivery according to Government Computer News.
Users of the Internet2 testbed networks should be able to download Service Pack 2 for Windows XP at blinding speed. Microsoft Corp. has established a 2.5Gbps link from its Windows Update site to the high performance Abilene backbone. This will create an alternate download link to users at 225 Internet2 member institutions.
