WinXP SP 3?

[Paddy]

Is there a Service Pack 3 for XP floating about???
I am doing a few installs over the weekend and I would rather slipstream a CD than have to manually update all the machines retrospectivly.

Cheers!

SP3? Hey, not even SP2 is out! But - if you're interested - you can integrate the sp2-beta, at the moment this would be version 2055.

Cheers, Hannes

I guess I was thinking of SP2... I'm tired

So where do i find the latest SP beta?

[a_h]

P2P? eMule? Search for 2055. Hannes

[Paddy]

ah! Sorry, I was looking for something a tad more official

There will be no offiicial SP2 before June of next year from I have heard.

June 2005?

I think he meant June of this year...

That's still quite a wait. I am just fed up of setting up computers for my mates. I have to take them back to mine so that I can use my broadband connection just to update the friggin' OS before i pass them on.

Actually the release time frame is 1st quarter of 2004...M$ counts a bit different, so april would be ok too (at least for 'em).

@Paddy: yeah I know what you mean....

Surely it is better to release it when it's ready and working rather than having you lot moaning after an early release saying "**** Microsoft, such and such is still wrong/doesn't work"?
