The folks who broke the launch details and dates of previous Service Packs for XP and Vista have Microsoft's latest internal schedule. Can Microsoft get it out before Windows 7?

    Yep, Apple are way ahead of any Linux distro in terms of home adoption because they know how to make something slick and integrated that 'just works'. No I am not an Apple fanboy, but anyone I know who has an iPod or is into digital photography has bought a Mac because for those purposes it just works.

    Well, like any /.er, I didnt RTFA or even read up on what kind of things are included in the SP2. I automagically assumed (ass, meet u and me) that it would fix issues across the board, stability, drivers, my wang isnt big enough, ect. What version of earth do YOU live on were we RTFA?
