The SP2 Thread - Reloaded

Click on announcements, and read the first couple threads to see what Mike Brannigan has to say about this supposed release...

Untrue and inaccurate.

The next public release is the RTM.

Cream is rarely wrong.

I wonder what prompted them (MS) to make that inaccurate annoucement.

Yeah when i posted it was what was posted in the Windows Update 5 newsgroup and the announcement is still there.

Special Announcement to All Windows XP SP2 Beta Testers! -

Hi All,

This is a heads-up that a new build of Windows XP SP2 will be released soon

via the Windows Update V5 site. This build includes many fixes for reported

issues.

Please download and install the new build as soon as possible after it is

released. It is important that any issues are reported quickly.

The build may be installed on Windows XP RTM, SP1, SP2 RC1 build 2082, or

SP2 RC2 build 2149. Installing the new SP2 build onto any other SP2 build is

not supported.

We will send out an e-mail and post to the newsgroup when the build is

available.

Thanks!

Windows Update Beta Team

havent seen word of it anywhere else but here...

To my understanding, there will not be another "surprise" version.. the next version to be released will be the final build!

    • One of my PC's is Windows 11 Home Edition... and guess what? it supports Hyper-V Disks and Containers, as well as WSL2... which these desktop tools leverage on an as-needed basis. It does not need to be enabled system-wide; it merely needs to exist. Furthermore, I tried something yesterday with Hermes Desktop and their "installer" actually builds everything from source as part of its installer toolchain! The installer (and updater as it were) both go through a roughly 19-step process to prep the system for the tool to be used -- and connectivity to local/remote models, local/remote agent configs, and other steps are not included as part of this process (those are all user config steps post-install). ALSO, the "bug wasn't confirmed to exist" is the weakest argument against a bug. That's literally every flawed product's knee-jerk reaction! Even politicians, lawmakers, murderers, and other violent criminals start with that defense... "I deny everything I'm accused of." The bug is the (shared) experience. Whether it's truly Claude Code's fault, or user error, or some other software package being the ultimate culprit, is not the point. They are experiencing unpleasant side effects and don't like that.
    • Each generaton has its exciting times and I was fortunate enough to be right there at the beginning of the PC industry.   I don't think any of us at that time realized how large it would become I still remember working on a TRS-80 with a green screen monitor that kept overheating and dying.     Also used some TRS-80 PCs with tape cartridge memory.   They worked but boy were they slow with everything being a very slow sequential read or write.  But heh, they worked though it wasn't long before they were repaced by the HDD. 
    • One Drive should be a four letter word. First thing I disable on my computer. If I want to upload something to the cloud, I use a cloud base storage, NOT microsoft. Oh but what about backup. I have done backups since floppy disk eras...it just comes naturally.
    • It does just not OneCloud. 🤷🏻‍♂️
    • Claude Desktop on Linux doesn’t have ram issues. Strange. 🤷🏻‍♂️
