Windows XP SP2 Goes Gold
writertype writes "PC Magazine reports that Microsoft has released Windows XP SP2 to PC OEMs after a two-day delay. A package of stories, complete with an exploration of the new update, is here. The best way for users to get the update, according to Microsoft, is to have Windows Update turned on; a CD version will be made available." Reader Critical_ writes "With all the news of SP2 being delayed, it seems like Microsoft may have pulled a rabbit out of its hat by releasing RTM on its WindowsBeta site. Neowin has a screenshot of the download page and MSFN has the release information. The final build is 2180. For those who can't download it for whatever reason, Microsoft is giving away free CDs here. Happy installing."
Soooo Microsoft is taking a page from AOL's advertising playbook and giving out free cds? Too bad I allready have enough coasters.
.Hack//* Owns me.
Not to worry. Every Microsoft patch breaks soooo much more than it fixes that there will never be no reason to install Linux.
This is yet another reason to not download SP2 and switch to Linux. Look, if they can't even release their own software on time, and when they do release it, it doesn't even have all the bugs worked out and 50 bazillion virii come out for it, I don't see what's taking everyone so long! It costs corporations more money to maintain than linux would ever require.
In the mean time ill keep running linux, thanks anyway. Doh!
Holy Shit! Seeds : 39 Leeches : 22 Thats a new one on any BT Download ive used!
