Title: Windows XP SP1
Post by: Victor Chirita on May 29, 2002, 08:33:05 PM

Quoting from Steven Bink\'s site:

\"Windows XP SP1 info:
Windows XP SP1 is coming somewhere between July and September, Beta will start soon.

................................................................................
..

SP1 won\'t install on XP systems using the leaked Volume License Key (FCKGW-RHQQ2-.......) it will also disable WindowsUpdate on those systems\"

Any comments?

I read an article that says \"the key begins with a D\".

Who needs SP1? All you have to do is get the updates individually like you already do. Most of the fixes that are going to be in SP1 are not even known to general public (You won\'t miss them). The most important ones are usually the ones you get at Windows Update Site and are generally Security fixes, compatibility updates and driver issues, all of which can be downloaded seperately, saved and applied later.

So, I say again, who really needs SP1.
Either way, the crack is gonna be out within two weeks of SP1 anyway.
