I would REALLY suggest getting Java and going to this chat!

ROFL! Everyone's abandoned WindowsBeta so I can download it! It actually loads now!

Installed and working fine so far!!!!

Did other service packs (1,1a) have "rtm" and the build dates in the version string?

Honestly I don't remember...

Thanks

quit here...any expiriences yet from the lucky ones???????

Whoohoo Finally

I pay over $2K a year for MSDN - they better have the **** service pack. And it's the ISO, very nice.

installed here, when installing the pack it asked for atapi.sys had too browse for it, but after that no probs at all

one thing im keen too find out is if it is now possible too have a user logged in, and then another logged in via remote desktop, both at the same time...

my server, DAW and laptop are all now SP2 final, but cant find any options too allow this feature..

i remember reading about it when sp2 was first announced ageeees ago.. cant see anything too change in gpedit.msc

i hope MS didnt cancel this feature, as it would be quite handy for me.....

anyone know anything about this, or how too allow it (if it is enabled now)

thx

yes even better

Build 2180, is 266 MB on betaplace. The reason why this build is so big is because it has tablet pc updates in it too. The express version download will be much less, because it checks at file level what versions you already have (hotfixes).

SP2 is working fine here... Just need a hacked UXTHEME...
