MS confirms XP SP3 delivery date

Comments

sp3 is already loose

it's already out there, on the M$ download site. oh and version 3311 (the one that gives you the BSOD) is there on the manual download, [the automatic download is ok(so far)] and it comes without warnings either.
just be ready to stuff the windows cd in to get into repair mode to change the broken version of gdi32.dll it installs.

instructions are at : http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/forums/index.cfm?action=showthread&threadid=322651&forumid=1

Not too bad, unless you have never used DOS, (you do remember DOS don't you) (you have used it, have'nt you???) and you got a MSCE as well, just shows how worthless the M$$ tax is, does'nt it :)
