Big whoopdy do right? Well, after all the commotion here lately I thought someone might like to see a picture of the real thing. I signed up for delivery as soon the link was posted here on Neowin, so everyone should be getting them soon.

Cool...I'm waiting for mine :)

Microsoft seems to have taken the CD order form down. Neowin linking to it was too much for them I bet. There is only one thing in the VALUEADD folder and I'm not geeky enough to know what it is, anybody?

I have a PM request for a hi-res scan, I'm working on it. Someone else wants the DOTNETFX folder, it's 23 megs zipped, I can't email that and I'm not gonna bother breaking it up into a bunch of small files, give me a FTP to upload it and I'll gladly do that.

Here is a 200dpi scan. It's 1.5megs, may be slow to load. The white text on light blue background may be tough to print.

neufuse - I can't seem to get a message back to you through PM. I will help you out. Send me an e-maill to [email protected]

I just recieved it as well...

I already have the download SP2 installed, but I wanted to wait for the "official" release to create a clean slipstream XP installation cd using Autostreamer.

Autostreamer reports the service pack build that came on the cd as "5.1.2600.2180 (Pre-SP2)". So I though I'd see if anyone has used this to do a clean install. What puzzled me was the "(Pre-SP2)". Probably has something to do with autostreamer???

If I remember correctly from a previous post on a previous thread [from a previous life] the "Pre-SP2" has to do with the version of XP [e.g. Gold] you're "slipping" the SP into. I'll poke through the forums and see if I can find it.

You can do the same. :D

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • 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.
    • 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!
