tomwarren Veteran Posted May 15, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 15, 2004 As well as some of the stuff you may have heard coming in XPSP2 here's a couple of other additions: DirectX9.0c(4.09.0000.0904) Popup blocker animated icon (just like google bar) Currently internal builds are at 2134. Looking at 214x build for RC2 as long as the may 26th date for RC2 sticks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCE 2005/Tablet PC 2005 etc. MCE 2005 is shaping out to be rather promising, it's going to include WMP10 and a few other things that might suprise ya ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
