Hi Bob,

You can get to the full SP5 128-bit download from following the High
Encryption link here:

<http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/recommended/sp5/x86.asp>

As you have already said, IS still recommends SP3 and hotfixes.  As for
drivers and programs requiring greater than SP3, could you please send me
any additional information you have found.  I am very interested in this
type of information as it pertains to when we may need to move to
recommending SP5 later this year.

Thanks,
Jonathan
