Thank you Robear !

 

Microsoft loves unpaid Beta testers. The MS News Groups are full of posts of things gone

bad by users installing MS Beta level software.

PA, it looks like Kris is from Microsoft.

 

And when did you start setting the rules for this or any other Microsoft

hosted newsgroup? Who are you to say what XP should be supported in an XP

general newsgroup?

Robear is talking about Beta software and he is correct in his assertion.

I don't care if Kris is from Microsoft, I don't answer to him or anyone else

in Redmond.

 

Anyone who needs/wants support for WinXP SP3 RC2 will find the best support

in the forum established for it. I only posted to point this out to others

who may seek such support.

 

There's a tradition of longstanding in the MS public newsgroups of not

supporting beta software, no matter whose software it is. If you don't like

it, you don't have to abide by our tradition.

The new build is 3311 and, according to winver, is not timebombed.

Re: Windows XP Service Pack 3 - RC2 now available

 

For those with only dial-up, the RC2 download size is 65.6MB if your SP2

machine has been fully updated.

 

If, as is likely, the final release is approximately this size -- those of

us who use dial-up can download SP3 when it arrives. We don't have to rely

on a friend burning a standalone or buying the CD from Microsoft.

And on dialup that would take about 6 hours. Whoopee.

As before, you will be able to get the SP3 CD from Microsoft for

F-R-E-E when it is finally released.
