The count-down to SP2

[baton]

5th August 4:50pm AEST here and still no sp2!

guess i'll have to wait till friday!

I'm patiently waiting too. I'm in the U.S. and its about 2:00 A.M. Microsoft is so slow. Oh well.

Hehe I cant wait, after beta testing it, SP2 seems like it will make a lot of improvements to security with out being too much of a neusence to the end user.... Slipstream a-go-go!! :-D

[xolox]

Just trying to confirm my assumptions... If I slipstream SP2 in my source-files, I can get rid off all Hotfixes, DirectX and Windows Media Player 9 right?

[Schadenfroh]

its 2am, im out, sucks i stayed up waiting like this

screw microsoft

What I would do is slipstream it in and then do a clean instal and check out what updates and other apps are missing and then put them in.

It's well into August 5th and I see no sign of SP2

To overcome the likely server overloading problem, perhaps someone should inform Microsoft about Bittorrent?

Microsoft has again delayed a long-awaited update to Windows XP, citing quality concerns. The company had planned to wrap up development this week on Windows XP Service Pack 2, but a Microsoft representative said late Wednesday that the software giant had decided that more work was needed on the update before if could be released to manufacturing.

They probably want to make sure there are no compatibility problems with Duke Nukem Forever.

Will these delays ever end?!?!?

lol

Duke Nukem Forever... hahaha

Or perfecting the latest versions of notepad and solitare.. wouldn't want new firewall to interfere with those..

Anyway, I am supposed to be sleaping.. couldn't help myself...

f***, I'm gonna get some sleep, haha. I'm totally wasted, been up three days and nights, couldn't sleep tonight, thought I'd wait for SP2, but no can't do. Why don't those s*ckers just say 'a few weeks' instead of giving exact dates so that everyone is anticipating!

I could have done a clean install with my (NOT YET BURNED...... BCUZ OF MS) unattended setup hours ago.

I'm off to bed, cheers! The setup will have to wait...
