nowadays thats not a big deal, most folks went over to sp2 a long time ago..

to be honest, windows xp sp2 still has a lot of problems.
That's why i use linux.

been fucked up since 3.11
I still say Compu$erve and MS-Dos were the best.
500bps rocked.

no one uses sp1 anyway...

Microsoft supplies support? *shocked*

Yeah, no one uses SP1 anymore unless they are still using an illegal install of XP

Good thing I use win98 then :)

Yeah, no kidding.

I guess you missed the memo

"July 11, 2006 will bring a close to Extended Support for Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Me as part of the Microsoft Lifecycle Policy. Microsoft will retire public and technical support, including security updates, by this date."

what he said

doesnt everyone have sp2 now?

that's no problem...

not big deal. win98 had some unofficial updates and microsoft actually ended support much earlier than it was announced.

i could make it run 99% of winxp programs. just find unofficial wn98 sp v1.5 and install office xp (or newer) and you'll get the same shit, even much more secure that xp.

sp1, sp2, what's the difference?!

Correct sire.

:2 cents:

most of people use sp2 but there are always computer users that did not upgrade to sp2...:)

Like it's a big deal to upgrade to sp2.

what is service pack 1?
