Yes. However, getting a Microsoft service pack (or any Microsoft
patch) from someplace other than Microsoft is foolhardy. No matter how
reputable the source, it is never risk-free.

Be patient, and wait for the official release.

Then again, getting something from Microsoft isn't always risk-free. ;-)

Nothing is risk-free. The only issue is minimizing risk when you can.
