Windows XP SP2 already long enough (since August last year)

and many hotfix and other patches launched til today.

so, I hope Microsoft working on Windows XP SP3.

Which contain:

- All Fix as usual.

- Better compatibility with older software, so reducing complain from IT people like now.

- Internet Explorer 7.

- Better technology for stopping the pirated version, Trojan, ETC.

- and other improvements.

what do you think ? Thanks

nope no public testers yet. hopefully they'll take their time and release it at the end of next year at the earliest. i had so many problems with SP2, which i don't want to go through again, and I'm sure businesses would be p***ed off if there was another major update with 2 years.

I highly doubt Internet Explorer 7 will be included in Service Pack 3 because they would run into too much trouble with the goverment over the issue of including IE7 in it.

Plus, don't hope for a Service Pack like Service Pack 2 which contained new features among other stuff. Service Pack 3 afaik will be a normal Service Pack with bugfixes and minor improvements to Windows.

That true :p Well originally that was Microsoft's plan but according to what I've read after being hit with a summer worms & attacks against Windows they changed there focus in regards with what they want done for SP2

Originally, Service Pack 2 was to have been the simple, standard collection of post-RTM bug fixes that users now expect. But a spate of nasty electronic attacks against Windows computers last summer caused the company to step back and reassess what it could do with this release.

We looked at some of the security technologies we were developing that provide protection above the patch level, like the firewall, security technologies that shield the lower pieces below it. We realized we could make a big impact with a few features without churning through the code again. So we decided to put these security technologies in place [with SP2]

I know for a fact that IE7 won't be released for XP until Longhorn is released.

With SP3, it'll prolly come out when Longhorn comes out.

If anything before then, it will be a roll-up.

That is my assumptions. ;)

LOL Where do you get your facts from? I'm guessing their not based on knowledge. :unsure:

I doubt Microsoft will make customers wait till late 2006 for IE7 for Windows XP. Same for XP SP3.

Some of us rather not pay for a browser that renders 10% of web pages incorrectly, I have that with Firefox but at least it's free and has other features that make up for it's shortcomings.

You need to check yourself before posting false facts. Bill Gates gave a keynote on February 15, 2005 at the RSA Conference.

What we've decided to do is a new version of Internet Explorer, this is IE 7... We will be able to put this into beta by early in the summer [of 2005]... Of course, as well, we'll include these capabilities in the next release of Windows scheduled for 2006 [longhorn]

This just shows you that its going to be available BEFORE longhorn.

NOTE: IE7 will only be available to users running XP SP2.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
