Windows XP SP2 Beta Reviewed
worm eater writes "Ars Technica has a characteristically thorough review of Windows XP Service Pack 2 Beta, with plenty of screen shots.

The review concludes: "Overall, Microsoft has made a step in the right direction with this service pack.

Nothing stopping you. Except of course the fact that the opensource community rarely comes up with a patentable idea before a commercial product makes for some nice prior art.

Nuff said.

"slow, buggy, and doesn't have enough new features yet to be interesting for more than 10 minutes."
And how is that different from a final release MS OS?
