alright, i know that it is still up in the air and that no one really knows, but if you do know or care to speculate, could you help ease my curiosity? specifically, if i were to slipstreme SP2 (the final version when it comes out) onto a xp cd and install it, would it have the following loaded on windows already: 1. All critical updates up untill its release 2. WMP9 or even WMP 10 3. DX9C 4. .NET framework 1.1 (or latest) 5. All the updates from windows updates (non critical ones) 6. SATA drivers for SIL3112A controller (so no diskette at startup) 7. Easy Way of disabling all the nagware in IE and OE that was present in the beta RC1 8. Possible iFrame, flash ad, banner ad blocker, in IE (i know its gonna have a pop up blocker) 9. Better cookie management (ccmon, its a security update) 10. Anything in SP2 that was forced their by the courts, like a way to easily uninstall allot of junk in windows that i dont need, like movie maker, journil viewer, etc. thanks
