Title: Anyone try XP SP2 RC1 yet?
Post by: Dexter on March 20, 2004, 07:52:32 PM

I see microsoft has opened up and is letting people download and try sp2 rc1 and just wondering if anyone has downloaded and tried it yet?

coolies

Between being on dialup and the fact that I just did a complete system wipe and reinstall like 3 weeks ago I'm hesitant to install anything.  I'd hate spending 2 days downloading then have it totally hose my system /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />
