Storm Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 We are a windows discussion site arnt we? Im sure you had an XP beta forum, so can we have an sp2 forum, if not sub forum? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dL Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I think we should have a "Beta" page discussing about current "Beta" programs offered at the Microsoft Beta page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 A whole forum for a service pack? Not quite the same as a beta OS, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dL Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 My idea is more broad, consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted March 21, 2004 Administrators Share Posted March 21, 2004 well thats what the XP forum is for, there is a dedicated one for Client and Server, such discussions should go in there.. we also have other forums that are global for issues like software and drivers (that can relate to any OS) I think Windows XP Client forum is kept fresh by discussing the *current* XP issues, such as SP2.

Ivand Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 If a new forum for SP2 its made, then it will have to be deleted after SP2 comes out, think about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P. Administrators Posted March 21, 2004 Administrators Share Posted March 21, 2004 If a new forum for SP2 its made, the it will have to be deleted after SP2 comes out, think about it well wouldn't be that drastic, it would just "die" plus we'd have a bunch of forums after a couple of years that no-one uses Windows XP SP1 & 2 Windows Server 2003 SP1 Windows 2000 SP3, 4 Windows NT4 SP6a thats what I wouldn't like, we'd have to do them all, not just the one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dL Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Nobody listened to my idea. I say, we make a forum called "Windows Beta Programs" or something and discusses about the CURRENT HOT beta programs that is out, so it'll last .. perhaps forever .. unless Microsoft dies :p Also, you can subcategorize Longhorn in it too, more organized ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banzai Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 i think we should have a beta forum, or we should just have one thread for sp2 beta cuz theres so many topics on it at the mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dL Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 i think we should have a beta forum, or we should just have one thread for sp2 beta cuz theres so many topics on it at the mo yes! that's what I've been trying to say here ppl, a "BETA" forum and subcategorize "Longhorn" in it, as well as SP2 if you want.

john smith 1924 Veteran Posted March 21, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 21, 2004 Well not really. Essentially, if you have them legally, you've agreed to a NDA which, if you read it, says no talking until its released. And if you have got it otherwise, you've obtained it illegally. Eitherway, not a good thing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banzai Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 i agree with SharkFiNbowL it seems strange to have a howl forum for longhorn an os that aint even out, and to be fair at least 80% of the people with probs in the forum aint beta testers just people who downloaded it. A beta forum would be much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dL Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Final Conclusion to this discussion: Let's either.. Organize it by making a "Beta" forum and putting "Longhorn" as a sub-category, and other if people demands it. or Leave it as it is :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
