Windows XP SP2 - This year sometime.
SP2 wats that? I'm a noob so dont be mad.
could u guys give me a link or something bout it.
thanx
SP2 = Service Pack 2. Just a collection of updated security fixes and driver updates that are sent out via their auto updator, so if you have that going there isn't a point in getting it. If you have dialup then there is a good reason to save the one file on your system, otherwise the auto updater is fine.Quote:

Remember they recently unveiled Windows Server 2003, but I bet there are people like me who consider XP as their current OS.
i sorta get it....
it's like saving site files on dial ups so it could load up faster rite?
nothing Auto in my rig XP anti spy turned all that off:)
No. Those are internet cahce files. Security fixes are known issues or bugs that let potential hackers gain access to your machine or design flaws that make the machine run in a way it wasn't intended to. These updates are put out as soon as Microsoft learns about them which happen very infrequently. Once a month, twice a month, who knows? it varies. Service packs on the other hand are released maybe once a year. They are the same little files that you get with the updates, but for conveniance it's packaged into a big file.Quote:
