Once you get hold of SP2 I recommend creating a slipstreamed install of XP.

That little bit of software is invaluable.. especially as you can now select components of XP to actually include or discard from the installation.
So, next time you need to do a fresh install, you're a long way down the road before you start.

Yeah looks like we may need to wait as it looks like a lot of people are ordering their cds

Uh oh, "The page cannot be displayed"

Well, Microsoft's order page isn't working.

might be slow because:

When can I order a CD in my language?


CD Language

Date Available to Order

English

August 25, 2004

What's the point of them putting the page up and the "order" button there then?

[Dave Stones]

but the URl its waiting for when you press "order" is oms2.parttest.extranettest.microsoft.com.... too many "test"s in there for my liking at the moment

slipstreaming images is the way forward saves a load of time and seems to be a better safe install all round been doing it since sp2 of win2k and wouldnt use anything else these days.

Got mine ordered......

LOL I got a message stating that Microsoft had exceded their bandwidth and that I should try again later

Not working for me still.
