That's what I would say also
But if if were to be true - and I believe you on that creamhackered - that would really suck! Anyways... still one more extra month to go for a clean install
I hope MS makes it worthwhile letting us wait for soooooo long on SP2!-

- What do you mean one more month? It's almost 3 full months away.

- If they keep on delaying WinXP SP2 like this, they might as well integrate Windows Longhorn into it, because by the time WinXP SP2 is released Windows Longhorn is probably out already.

- Cream. You said "No RC2" LOL
If you think of the radical changed in XP SP2. I can see why they need to add an RC2.

- I think they're trying to avoid the incompatibilites that came with SP1... and seeing more comprehensive changes are being made then this is quite understandable. Still, it's taking a lot longer than I thought.

QUOTE (#15.0) So this update has the support for my dual opterons virus set.
You mean the NX-bit for buffer overflow-protection? Yeah, they've got it since the early build of SP2. You should download the RC1. I'm using it right now. It's much more stable than the leaked builds.
In the RC1 you should find it in an extra tab called Data Execution Prevention. Righ-click My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Settings -> Data Execution Prevention. Then you can just turn it on if it's not already turned on. Too bad I only got an Intel Pentium 4. Like I said before, an Athlon64 will be my next purchase. They simply have too many new features to ignore.

- Microsoft can't release crap. Bill Gates is a lousy software manager he was a better CEO.
He just sucks at his new job. Since he took the job everything he over sees slips more and more behind release date.
If Liunx ever beats Windows this will be why.
Previous estimates have (like other SPs) been strictly no RC2 and a release in May to RTW but it seems like this isn't the case. Whatever happens we'll keep you updated, but for now it seems, RC1 is not the last beta we'll be seeing of XPSP2.
Estimates are that we'll see RC2 around the time of WinHec but that it won't be shown at the show.
Change Log:
For home users, Kerio Personal Firewall 4 is available in two flavors - the full edition and the limited free edition. After installation, KPF works as the full edition for 30 days, after which it becomes the limited free edition. Limited free edition does not provide the content filtering capabilities such as blocking pop-up windows, ads, VB scripts, cookies, etc. and other extra features.
