MD5 Hash for WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe

Hello Russ and all:

After reading about one difficulty with the XPSP2 download of the
update, I'm thinking of suggesting MD5 hash includes with Microsoft's
downloads.

To that end, here is the hash for SP2.  It was arrived at by comparing
six different downloads with Luke Pascoe's md5summer.  We have a very
fat pipe
at work and each download only took far less than one minute.

Other companies are doing this.  Should MS include md5 checksums?
