SP2 CD came in the mail today

[erp]

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.

wheres the link for the cd?

[Storm]

Yeah, where is it, i dont wanna download it again :(

[pmh]

hehe, I just want it just to have it. I know its a bad reason, but I would like it :)

[aggrophobik]

Cool, guess mine will arrive shortly as well. :)

[imtoomuch]

The link to order the SP2 CD is here. You can't sign up for CDs at the moment, though.

[LastSamurai]

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

Is the 25th the WU release date for EVERY copy of Win XP (in each language), or it is just English, German, French etc. (the 'major' languages)?

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.

[Sim31]

Thats on the SP2 CD right? that vauleadd and all that..

[Hypoxiaicon]

I want this CD also... Or i might just swap it from a XP Home OEM with SP2... if anyone allows that ?

[JohnO]

You're right!

I signed up as a joke

I'll go check my mailbox :D

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???

[ShaneSparky_YYZ]

Kool stuff ;) And yes it comes out on the 25th on Windows Update for Pro, as it already is out there for Home. As for languages, I believe it is for all.

[neufuse Veteran]

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

[oldaccount1]

You can pick up the SP2 CD at your local Circuit City. We got them in last week. :)

just got mine today. didnt think i was going to get it because some people thought the order form was just a test before the real thing, and the page was taken down soon after i ordered it.

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

[Larney]

No, its to with AutoStreamer...its because it doesn't recognise SP2 yet :blink: lol and it needs to be updated so that it can :)

[aggrophobik]

Got mine today as well.

I'm still waiting for mine. Last time I ordered something from Microsoft (The security update disk) it took no time to get to my city but dam Purolator took 3 weeks to find my house :pinch:
