Re: [Merged] Windows XP SP2
Definately agreed Stu, despite the RC tag I would still treat this as ALPHA release software, Microsoft Alpha release at that

Re: Windows XP SP2 available
OK I made the HUGE mistake of not restarting my machine after the first download - which means the 264Mb file FAILED to install!!!
Yes folks, I have to download the whole bugger once more!!!!
I'm off to bed....

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
hrm, I'm using a copy of XP with SP2 slipstreamed (with a valid serial no. from a copy of XP Pro that I own) but Windows Update tells me
Quote:
|
Warning: Do not install this build over a slipstream installed version of XP SP2
|
I guess I'm going to end up reinstalling XP when it's released.
