I dunno, but (correct me if I'm wrong) I read a thing about that it would be possible to use the system simultaniously with other users? (Linux style)

The feature you are probably talking about is Concurrent Sessions that was in earlier (Pre-Beta) versions of it. Though I believe they took out/disabled that feature in the current versions.

I'm eagerly awaiting XPSP2 release, when are we expecting it's final version release by the way?

Good questions. I too, am eagerly awaiting SP2's release. I have the beta version, but I don't dare install it! LOL... For someone who isn't great (not bad, but not great) with computers, it would be suicide for me to install a beta service pack on to my machine. Then I would come on to this board, whining and complaining that it hosed my system! No thanks! I'll wait for the RTM.

Maybe we'll see some new changes with what is now termed "XP Reloaded".

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 ;)

Yup - using messenger from Media Cetner is kinda cool ;).

Someone said that MS was against updating DirectX in Service Packs:

I believe that the main reason for updating it in this SP is that DirectX 9.0b is considered a "Critical Update." I'm not sure what it was in 9.0a that was insecure or whatever, but since they're trying to focus on security, updating DirectX for the people who *don't* go to Windows Update is a good idea.

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
