Posted by Hemos on from the one-step-forward? dept.

Masa writes "SuperSite for Windows has a nice interview called "Windows XP Service Pack 2: The Inside Story". The interview gives a good insight, what kind of a project the Service Pack 2 was, how it got started and how huge effort it actually was." The ITMJ Product Guide is part of OSTG, as is Slashdot.

      Yes. For Linux, the price for one service pack is 2 weeks of kernel compiling and finding drivers for hardware above the Walmart-level.

      Of course, for unemployed fags like you, 2 weeks are very cheap.
