For those who installed it, please post your impressions.

So far I haven't really noticed anything new. I suppose that it's mainly lots of patches and some "under teh hood" improvements and bug fixes.

WOW This is one of the fakest things Ive ever seen....

OK Look....SP2 is not final at all; You can't leak something that hasnt been finalized/Gold/RTW.

If I install ALL the updates in Windows Update and/or Microsoft's site, I too have SP2 leaked ;)

Hmmm you must be joking right. Course you can leak something before its been released otherwise what would be the point in leaking it if its already been released HAHAHA

I don't have a Test Machine. Test machines are for girly boys. :) As Ahnorld would say.

Well I was brave and I installed into my main machine. I didn't notice anything new and not even the watermark is printed, I guess is only when you have a trial version, but so far it feel the same as SP1.

yes .

1-go to Control Panel > programs and features > view installed updates >"service pack for microsoft windows " right click & uninstall

2- or the easier method just use system restore (restoring to the point before you installed sp2)

anyway it will expire 1.2 year not anytime soon and you should be able to uninstall anytime (hopefully no issue arise )

Yeah, it expires 2010 so no need to panic. By then another beta SP2 will be released and you'd have upgraded again. Then by next year (2009) you'll have the final SP2 and you'd remove all the beta junk and install final code. Breathe, seriously, i hear it helps you to live longer :)

+1

and even if it expire it wont lock you out it will just go to RFM(reduced functionality mode ) and it will give time to uninstall the beta

I didn't have the watermark either until I restarted my machine. :)

I have noticed since installing that it seems to boot a bit faster, and login and startup are quite a bit quicker. It does seem to launch programs faster too. Nice job by MS...can't wait for the final version.

Oh yeah...test machines?

My main rig is my test machine :)

    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.

      I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
