The, not-so-anticipated, release of the Windows XP SP3 is almost here, technically, its here. It is available for download here.

Microsoft warns people not to download, like any beta release, because of the possible problems it may have. But, lets me serious, its Microsoft.

Zomg, I'm still on Vista.

I wonder whether they were tempted to make it bad on purpose to 'encourage' people to switch to their latest OS.

i thought this was released like 2 weeks ago?

I've had it for like a month already (warez) and there's nothing really special about it. I actually forgot I had it

oh haha yeah, i heard it was released, my browser wasn't letting me directly DL it so i just torrented it . had no idea it was warez

many organizations have proven 10-20% performance speed boosts, you consider that a bad upgrade?

Seems pretty cool . I didn't know they would continue to work on XP even after Vista was released.

Seems they've come to their senses I think they knew Vista sucked all along though and now they're trying to satisfy their angry customers (like myself )

Well I saw some really good features of Vista... I think Microsoft's marketing was crap for Vista. A lot of the features that Mac has in Leopard, Vista has too. For example, Time Machine is in Vista, but people may not know about it. Both operating system kernels had shadow copy included in them so that snapshots of a particular file were made automatically. It's a pretty neat feature that Microsoft just wasn't able to market correctly.

I think that they actually continue to update an operating version for 5 years after the release of a newer version.

That would be because they are not targeting it towards people who care about that stuff. Sadly they just want the general populace to buy there latest product. People that have limited knowledge about how PCs function.

No warez talk, please.

[Mr. Hobo]

Why do you do that? It makes you sound like an asshole. You spam but then you backseat mod?

I'm tempted to get sp3 but I'm scared I'll screw up my computer and have to reformat or possibly go back to linux if I can't find my windows cd again.

Of course, none of this bodes well for Vista, which is now more than 2x slower than the most current builds of its older sibling.

Warez.

And Why don;t you jsut isntall XP (legally) and install a few themes?

[foogie]

my favorite system was the old windows 95. I don't know why they ever changed shit from that.


I hate change, i'm extremely anal about order, and I despise change.... it took me a LONG time to get used to XP, and I will NEVER use vista. D:<


I hate how they changed the layout of IE too. it looks like shit. I liked the old version best.



I hate change, so i will never switch to vista or Linux or a mac, same as I will never switch to firefox or opera or whatever.
