WOW!!!!

I dont believe it that i finally have SP2!!!!! :D

The strain and frustration i have gone through to get this; let me say this;

1. Build 2055 was the only one that worked, that had gliches and ran unstable on my pc, so i uninstalled

2. No other builds or RC would install so that ****ed me off..

3. Couldn't reformat pc cos of a new harddrive that required a driver for windows to sense it was there...

4. Couldn't reformat pc cos stupid MESH had given me the wrong recovery cd!!!

So :blink:

I phoned up MESH, got the new recovery CD, reformated pc, installed programs, installed network, retrieved files and installed RC2.

And guess what it worked :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

So happy with it now :) Defiately worth the wait and highly recommended to anyone considering it...

David :woot:

,Jun 24 2004, 10:45] whats being a IT PRO or beta tester got to to do with it?

Absolutely nothing, some people just pop wood over thinking that they're more tech. savvy than others. Or that they're actually contributing to a project simply by using the beta (and not sending bug reports, of course).

      Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
