Microsoft is releasing this upgrade free -- as most of you know -- and CNN is running a story on it. This part was the most interesting to me: Quote: | Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates said the upgrade, dubbed Service Pack 2, revises less than 5 percent of the millions of lines of code that make up Windows XP -- but adds more value than any update the company has ever done. | 5 percent of the code seems like a lot. I'm happy that Microsoft has put so much energy, and well over 1 billion dollars, into this update. |  |  | | 08-09-2004, 08:27 PM | #2 | | Lurking Admin Join Date: May 2004 Posts: 596 | I dread service pack upgrades... they have this affect on me that makes me stay away... I'll wait a few weeks until I hear what is fscks up | | | | | 08-09-2004, 08:29 PM | #3 | | I <3 Windows Join Date: May 2004 Location: Connecticut, USA Posts: 2,353 | I heard there were serious problems with the Beta. I don't know if those were resolved yet. This actually hasn't been released yet. I don't think, anyway. | | | | | 08-09-2004, 10:29 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Posts: 454 | Just two days ago Microsoft announced SP2 would be delayed again. Now two days later, it's coming out? I, too, will be waiting a week or two before doing anything. That just seems way to fishy for me. My PC doesn't deserve to be sent to the ringer unless I know for sure there won't be (or won't likely be) any problems. | | | | | 08-13-2004, 08:59 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2004 Location: Sierra Vista, Arizona.

I too will be waiting. | | | | | 08-14-2004, 11:24 AM | #8 | | Lurking Admin Join Date: May 2004 Posts: 596 | Quote: | Originally Posted by Interactive | roflmao, look at how many Microsoft programs may not work. | | | | | 08-14-2004, 01:03 PM | #9 | | I <3 Windows Join Date: May 2004 Location: Connecticut, USA Posts: 2,353 | WOW! That's ridiculous. I'm really having second thoughts about installing it now. | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Rate This Thread | | |  Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts
