BeenThereB4 Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 SP2 is in its final throes of RTM. It was being intensively tested for any regressions. And is now code-base finalised. In some time, you'll all get to the US English SP2 final update. Shortly after, I'll try digging out the links to german/japanese as well - if there are any more votes which will justify it.If you get this link, you are The ManI'm going to stay right here on this thread today until you get it!

TheBlackMan Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 While we are waiting does anybody have any guides to slipstreaming it into XP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamehead200 Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 While we are waiting does anybody have any guides to slipstreaming it into XP?It should be the same thing as the first service pack. If not, use nLite. It will do it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlackMan Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Thanks for the super-fast reply gamehead200! Now where's that link...*cause I'm still waiting like the rest of you* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBlackMan Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Why not post the link on an alternate place in case that happens?*prathapml* Post another link where u can post in case we get errors again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xolox Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I don't know if I misunderstand some of you, but seems your all still waiting for the link. While the news-message very clearly stated, "We remain on track to RTM the product in August". Not that I don't want to trust Microsoft, but I'm just not able to anymore. And since it's only the 5'th of august, I won't be surprised if it doesn't 'hits the streets' until the 30'th....Not that I don't hope prathapml will give "THE" link that will knock the internet down for an hour or so Just not to sure of it.....Slipstreaming: http://www.iamnotageek.com/a/12-p1.phpSo u guys really think it'll still be today?! Cause if it is, I'll wait with me format c: to slipstream that 90 Megabytes on my well prepared and anticipated unattended setup[edit]Savest bet to reach people when the server would be down is e-mail...

Bachus Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I doubt it'll be officially released for at least a few days. I'm hoping for a leak, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabriel_buc Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Millions of persons are waiting for "THE SP" ....But just think a little, let's say that only a quarter of those will download it in the first hours after release the MS servers will be down in just a few minutes So we'll have to wait for servers to be online again Anyway it would be interesting to see statistics on how many people will download the SP in the first hours, how many persons are downloading in the same time ....

TheBlackMan Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I'm sure MS is planning a hoard of downloaders as soon as it's released and I'm sure they are prepared for it...I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xolox Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Say, a question: Just hypothetically. if it wouldn't be released today, will this thread continue untill it does?! And will there be people monitoring it 24/7?LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabriel_buc Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 It seems that are some addicted ppl around. So I think this thread will be up even one month if it's necessary Anyway there will always be someone here guarding MS site to see if the RTW has been done A message for those who decided not to sleep in order to wait the SP. Go 2 bed men this wait could take till August end ..... So if u r tired go 2 bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
