    I'm not sure if this question is un-etchical or will somehow have
    someone on my back using the DMCA or something, but how does one get a
    service pack if one doesn't have a subscrption service? I'm not
    saying this person is me, but suppose I had a friend who's company
    wouldn't pay for the subscription service because they think that if a
    release has bugs (such as 2004 Sp0), that it is the responsibility of
    the software company to send out patches and service packs. That's
    just some people's opinion.

    So how does this guy get the newest service pack? Are there legal
    avenues of distribution besides the subscrption service? Illegal
    avenues? Russian Mafia?

    Thanks in advance for any advice. I do check my email from time to
    time also if you don't want to be forever quoted on the world wide
    web.

    A perfectly valid opinion.
    Any respectable VAR would gladly provide a SW customer with the Service
    pack.

    I agree if SW sells you a defective product they should fix it. But if you
    read the User Agreement that you check when installing it says you give up
    this right when you install the product.

    If you are not on subscription and report a problem that a specific SP
    addresses the VAR should give you that SP.
