Cable Forum - View Single Post - Merged: Windows XP SP2

**Maggy** · 05-09-2004, 21:11

Having read quite a few XP SP2 issues across the board now I'm wondering if I should even bother?It seems to have caused so many problems for lots of people.Has SP2 been extensively tested at all?

Which brings me to this question.How does one become a beta tester for M$ and how long do they beta test each product?

After all if one is going to have bugs with the full product perhaps one might as well beta test instead.Or are we all beta testing for M$ but they make us pay for the privilige?

Incog.
