Vista has this stuff already.

I believe he wants the information in general.

I'm running it. It didn't really help the boot time by maybe a few seconds, although my computer now shuts down about 75% faster after installing SP 3 RC2. Loading programs seems to take about the same time as it did with SP2. The only thing I'm having a problem with is BOINC; it doesn't want to run all night. I'll wake up and check the status, and the program would be closed. This never happened with SP2. Maybe I should do more tests and give a better review?

I'd strong recommend all Vista users to use this, seeing as it's included a few more features, and of course, keeps the best ones (Stability, reliability, compatibility... and performance!

Can't wait for the final - or will that be a MS farce too?

Me neither. Been wanting to install this since we put it on all the machines in my PC Hardware class. Must have patience though.

hey .let the hype grow,we all know this information is nothing new shhh

Heh, good point seeing that I'm still an XP user too

Actually that really irked me. I'd deliberately not downloaded that as I just didn't like how the new Remote Desktop client worked. I applied SP3 and was a bit annoyed when I fired up MSTSC to be greeted with the Vista style Remote Desktop client

Whats wrong with it? Works just the same for me but now I can see the saved username it will attempt to use from a previous session.

In a separate patch, I think the point is that SP3 will have it integrated.

I doubt it, XP X64 is based on Server 2003 kernel. Only if they update W2K3 will you see these updates on x64 XP.

As Marshalus pointed out.... Windows XP 64 bit, was born from Windows 2003. Service packs related to W2K3 apply to WinXP 64.

So it will just detect and all install on xp64? xp64 is not in the list of supported os's on that page ya know.

And yet it IS the service pack for xp64. Gogogo!

Wrong. The Link posted is for the x86 version of SP2 for Win Server 2003, which is NOT compatible with XP64. However, this link > Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 for x64 Editions < is the correct one, and it does have XP64 listed, as it is the x64 version of SP2.

That service pack is for Windows Server 2003 32-bit, not Windows x64.

Removed the link..... even though as picky as some just love to be, ITS THE SAME DAMN SERVICE PACK.

Regardless of 32 or 64 bit, SP2 for Server 2003, IS the service pack for Windows XP 64.
