Well I installed SUS today. Everything seems fine. So I said I might as well
install the client download on my WinXP PRO SP1 box. No such luck...tells me
I need at least windows 2000 or windows xp to run it....hmmmmm anyone else
have this problem...? I tried it on my Tablet PC as well and got the same
error

Thanks

You don't need to install anything on Windows XP or Windows 2000 with SP
level > 3. The only thing you need to do is to change the GPO in order the
SUS clients on the workstations use the SUS server as the source for the
updates. Read:

Though you had to be running XP-SP1 to have the client already installed?
