I've been doing some serious surfing - I seem to be the
only person who didn't know that although some of the
updates on Windows update have "(SP2)" in their names
they are not actually part of SP2. SP2 is due for
release on 25/08/2004 (for americans that's 08/25/2004) -
go figure.
And point of note, this wasn't something I found on the
Microsoft site but on the BTinternet site - Microsoft
seem to be being very close mouthed about the subject of
a release date, at least I spent the last 2 hours looking
at various SP2 related pages and I didn't see a date once.
Needless to say, although my PC is as uptodate as I can
make it through Windows Update it is still SP1a not SP2.
Just thought I'd put that in as everyone else seems to
think that they already have it, if this is truly the
case - how?
