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.

    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By tsupersonic · Posted

      When you're in enterprise IT environment, you're kinda forced into it...otherwise I'm not touching any mail client for personal use.  I can't stand New Outlook. It's complete trash - half the features I need in (Classic) Outlook are just missing in New Outlook. I haven't talked to a single person who actually likes the new client. 
    • macOS ‘Golden Gate' unveiled with standalone Siri app, performance improvements and more

      I think it's cute that Apple is implementing their tools at precisely the same evolutionary level as other devices' tools. In other words, I see no innovation; it's "the same but different." "Hey Siri, help me write this document about shoes." Powered by Google. "Sure thing, while we're here, can I interest you on some Nike's? They're on sale at Target right now!"

      But apple has ASSURED us that this is private. So, it's private. I expect the same "leeway" shown Microsoft to be reflected here.
    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
