At this stage, I don't think that they have time for that. Beside, it's not like Microsoft to bundle anything like this into Service Packs. The reason for that is probably because new features = more regression test, and new features = more possible vulnerability and that's the last thing they want.

If it is, the 300 million bucks you mentioned is not part of any reloaded ad campaign. It is simply the cost for pushing out sp2.

300 Million is a lot of money. I rather be compensated by Microsoft; by them sending all registered Windows XP users a free XP SP2 Full Version CD, then Microsoft trying to better it's market position in the market and make itself look good and feel better about a swiss cheese operating system being released in the first place.

IMHO of course.

No, I'd rather them push this thing out to the people too lazy to update otherwise. I paid my money and am happy with the product I received. I'm not happy with all my friends being idiots and not updating though.

I understand. :$

But people do get a bit peeved when after installing their shiny new Windows XP with SP1 they are presented with over 20 MB worth of updates, especially if they live in a country like Australia where boardband is not accessible everywhere and is expensive. :ermm:

,Jun 2 2004, 17:43] :laugh:? We agree, I like your summary of WMP10 Toxikk.

I am though quite dissapointed with the efforts that Microsoft has put into this product. I really thought they were going to do something special for their "Reloaded" 300 million dollar investment.

Would you rather they do nothing? Any update (no matter how small) is better then nothing.

If you don't like it don't use it.

    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.
