seems to work ok, but it didn't fully detect zone alarm as a firewall and the same with AVG as anti virus, you will know what I am on about when you see the new security centre. I have only used the os lightly so far but it seems to hold up with no instability. I noticed it was very very fast, I did a integrated install tho so I put the speed down to having a fresh windows install without a ton of hotfixes.

It figures. It looks like Microsoft is trying to push out the 3rd Party Manufactures of Firewall & Anti-Virus &

Pop-Up/Spam/ADware Blocker Software. That is OK - I think that stuff should be Integrated into Windows anyhow - it is more Convenient that way - So long Zone Alarm & other crappy Shareware - It was nice knowing you!!! :cry:

Can i ask something, the download link for SP2 on the microsoft website does that contain the latest (Mistake) Service Pack? :( I dont know much bout this an feel a bit silly i jus thought id ask. One more thing, ZoneAlarm isnt crappy its just the way you configure it :crazy:

Thanks but part of Microsofts Tech Net Site they are offering it on that. Im not allowed to post links on here to SP2 right. If you take a look at this, (not a direct link to SP2) a few pages on from this u will come to articles about SP2 now is this version listed the one that was accidently leaked i have 2029 at the moment, is that the latest release version?I dont think it is please get back. :)

on one of my pc`s running XP Home and SP2 2096 when using extract all option for a zip file it seems to perform very fast but on my second pc with the SP2 2096 XP Home and using the extract all onj zip files it is very very slow.

Went bask to SP1 on the second PC and it works fine now.This is a very new PC with 1.5 gigs of ram so am very puzzled why this is happening.

Anyone hear of this during the beta of SP2 and care to share it with me?

TIA :)

    • Those persons has complete control over the internet right now. They do see everything what we do regardless.
    • Everyone and every country who doesn't support Israel's aggression, terrorism and hypocrisy is their immediate enemy. You can definitely see how many innocent people they are killing almost everyday. In fact they're the actual Neo-Nazi who holds Hitler's ideology.
    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.
