Is it the final RTM you found or the latest RC? Had a look on Technet too but can't find a final final so to speak.

 

Its just the latest RC, but it may worthdownloading onto a virtual pc just to test its stability and see whats what.

 

Oh balls, more work.............

 

Im running it on my machine at work. It does appear to be running that little bit faster.

 

cool, any stability issues?

 

In a work environment it hasnt faulted so far (im asking for trouble now ).

 

XP SP3 certainly brings a lot of new features to the table. I've not tried any of the builds yet, but from what you guys are saying if it makes the OS perform better then I am certainly looking forward to installing it.

I've read in various places that it brings over a lot of security related features used in Vista. Hooray! Another reason not to upgrade to Vista then!

 

When is the full version out?

And why doesn't technet have an evaluation version of Windows2000?

 

Not sure about that one but perhaps Microsoft does not offer evaluations of retired products?

All I could find is this, hope it helps...

 

I did find a server2000 but not an OS of it.

 

Are you sure you don't want to upgrade? <click yes> Are you REALLY sure you don't want to upgrade? <click yes again> Are you COMPLETELY sure you don't want to upgrade?

 

This is probably the SP that will inject some fatal flaw into XP and force everyone to switch to Vista...

 

It's not so bad. I can see some increase in speed to be honest

I have it installed on 2 systems at the moment in an effort to fix some problems that I'm having with a slow network. Didn't fix the problems but the pcs are still stable.

 

Apparently SP3 is due in the second half of April 2008.

CLICK!

Another source claims NEXT WEEK!

 

i installed the 3311 i think? stability is ok in my lappy, after a month i removed it for some conflict with my vista transformation pack

 

Same here, I have it installed on my work machine (machine im currently using) and I honestly dont see much difference either way.

 

I have just read the whitepaper on it, seems to be more of a security update with added network protection.
