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.
