XP SP2 Features In Older Windows Versions?
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "THOUGHT" @ 09:30 PM
"The world must wait until late July at the earliest until Microsoft Corp. delivers the final release of Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). But that isn't stopping testers and customers from asking what Microsoft's intentions are, in terms of back-porting the SP2 updates and fixes to other Microsoft operating systems and related products."
The update will be applied to XP Media Center Edition and the Tablet PC Editions of XP as far as I know but this article asks a really good question about whether the updates will also be applied to older versions of Windows. Anyways, XP SP2 RC2 (rolls of the tongue there ;-)) was just released, and I was wondering if any of you installed it yet? Anything cool to report, especially with Media Center Edition? I was particularly disappointed with its performance on lower end machines and there was some talk about that being addressed with SP2, so I was looking forward to getting more information on that. If you want more information on XP SP2, this Microsoft site has plenty of information.
