prathapml Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 No, not playing a prank on you valuable people - but I'm not sitting right next to the "pack-it-up" stall either. But I do know it'd come far earlier to me than most (thru undisclosed channels).MSFN will mirror the SP on their servers ?????????That would be considered illegal. Privately/temporarily if you serve it from your own server, that is not such a serious matter. Officially, you can't start distributing it until MS themselves are ready with it, and says "GO !".But, we are an impatient lot, lot more than others ever could be, aren't we? So.....

gabriel_buc Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Question: How many of you will install SP2 imediatelly after its release regarding the fact that a lot of compatibility problems have been issued ?As far as I'm concerned first I will try SP in a virtual machine, secondly I will install it on my current XP installation and finally I will slipstream it and do a FORMAT c:\ FULL install of the new Win XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xolox Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Still wondering if I'd slipstream, burn & install it, or test in a virtual pc...Not sure. Maybe I should install SP1 + Hotfixes today, and see about sp2 on my harddrive later .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prathapml Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 How many of you will install SP2 imediatelly after its release regarding the fact that a lot of compatibility problems have been issued ?All of us, compatibility be darned. In any case, we all know what works and doesn't, and how on RC2 - and it won't change from that situation, so....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabriel_buc Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Another question: I heard that when installing SP on a WinXP-Sp1 with all hotfixes up-to-date, all the pre-SP2 hotfixes will be removed prior to the SP2 installation.Is this true ???
