WinXP SP2 Beta is out

[Ace]

That's about it... I think you need to be a registered beta tester to download it.

retail macro$h!t is buggy and you want to try the BETA SP2!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif" border="0"> you my friend are a braver soul than i.

[Ace]

Yes, that's why I'll be installing it on another hard drive... I'll have to format the one with the backups of everything on lol

[omga14]

where'd you get it? i did a search for the SP2 at microsoft and came up empty. thought i'd give it a shot since i'm reformatting this weekend.

You have to be a registered Microsoft Beta tester to download it. <BR><BR>beta.microsoft.com<BR><BR>I don't know if you'll be invited to join in the scheme immediately... I don't think so... so don't bank on it for the weekend!

thanks. by the way i seem to be an IBM Developers member and i don't know how. i'll check there and see if i can source it there.

[Ace]

I would offer you it, but with this 12kb/s upload speed or whatever it is, it'll take ages <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

[omga14]

thanks for the offer even though you can't do it. couldn't find it myself. guess i'll wait for your horror story and go from there<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

I'm just waiting for FreeBSD to complete downloading on here so I can install it on this PoS laptop, then I'll get WinXP SP2 installed over my backups <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">

[Ace]

Yes. But I bet that somebody is going to do it, somewhere.

[Ace]

I installed it. It runs pretty well with a few visible improvements over SP1. Only problem I found was a failed restart post-install but it's OK now. I'd advise you to check it out - but I heard that SP2 final isn't expected until early 2005.<BR><BR>windowsbeta.microsoft.com

I'll check it out and probably wait on the official release.
