Ryan V Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 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.

X Statik Process Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 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.

cpu killer Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 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 ;).

Storm Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 I have a problem with my powerkyro and sp2, i beleive this is something to do with sp2 checking the dmi_pool everytime on boot or something?

Jason Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Is it true that SP2 will patch every single icon that XP had missed patching, i.e. some old legacy Win 9x icons. Nothing to do with 9X it was not built from the 9X code base, NT was a totally seperate project than 9X and was a ground up build.

smoke Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Nothing to do with 9X it was not built from the 9X code base, NT was a totally seperate project than 9X and was a ground up build. In fact, win32 was built on NT first and then backported to win3.1 to make 9x.

semifamous Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 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.

GUARDiAN Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Microsoft has always been against updating DirectX with Service Packs. Are you sure about this cream? What makes you think so? MS included DirectX 3.0 with SP3 for NT4, so go figure... ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/167373-coming-soon-to-xpsp2/page/3/#findComment-2112622 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEROarmy Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 whens dx9.1 supposed to come out that (news source somewerea bit back) was supposed to give nvidia cards the magic dx9 preformance boost? 9.0c is the equivalent of 9.1. There won't be any more Direct X updates until Direct X 10, to be be included with Longhorn.
