<< um, a beta service pack. heh, no thanks. >>



I'll drink to that.... I will wait for a &quot;final&quot; release on the Windows Update site.

Holy crap!!! I actually scanned/read through that entire thing... most notable? ATA100 support! (So I guess I don't have to install those via bus master drivers?) and this thing: Q265003 Windows 2000 Overwrites or Damages an OS/2 Boot Manager Partition fastfat.sys autochk.exe ifsutil.dll Now, it says OS/2? Do they mean the IBM operating system OS/2? Or does it mean something else? I was looking through that list for anything in reference to the ACPI thing similar to Win95/98, where the harddrive is shut down before it finishes writing from cache. Anyone else know about it?

If my freaking DSL service was connected I'd download this thing... but them b!tches at Verizon can't get off their sorry lazy @$$es...

ya, but first you'd have to find it =)

I've been running it since this thread popped up, and it's been all good so far.

 

[borealiss]

a) it's beta
b) it's microsoft
c) it's microsoft =P

...i don't think so

 

[hankster]

just RUB it in, pg19...

 

[pg22]

 

[joeryu]

any other links or newer versions of the beta??

 

[dcdomain]

Well, looks like I'll be waiting until I get back to school to dl the sucker, anyone know when the final version will be out???

 

[Cknyc]

I never even knew this was released. Anyone have it on an ftp?

 

[heat23]

so basically it doesnt fix anything useful?

 

[hankster]

well, if you don't consider ata-100 support, dolby ac-3 w/ sb live 5.1 (acc'g to creative newsgroup), dozens of memory leaks, and dozens and dozens of other things useful...

reviews are mixed (as usual) - some report problems, others report things that never worked before now work or greatly improved performance (maybe the ata100 kickin' in? YMMV... ).

while we're on the subject, what results have you 'lucky ones' who snagged this before the links died seen? good, bad, or indifferent?

be well,

 

[Poolman]

Share the links

 

[StanFL]

Hehe, I snagged it back when it first came out. It's still sitting in my Temp directory though, I intended to ghost my existing install to a spare hard drive so I could easily recover from any probs with it but never got round to it.

[joeryu]

[Zak]

Yeah, the MS site seems to be MIA since yesterday, and none of the links work
I guess, I'll wait patiently, the final can't be very far.

[Zak]
