Blast Worm and XP - Tenbatsuzen - 08-12-2003

As the unofficial tech guy in my office, I have a few questions.

1) Is XP Home 32-bit or 64-bit?

2) Is XP Professional 32-bit or 64-bit?

Does the current windows update function include Blast protection or do I have to install it from a different area on MS's website?

I was wondering where the hell do I get the update. Supposedly, we have until 8/16 to get the update before the sky starts falling.


Any links would be helpful.

You have to get the <a href=http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q294418>specifically designed Windows XP 64-bit</a>. The standard version purchased in stores is the 32-bit, because the 64-bit CPU is not commonplace yet.
