Your reference is dated December of last year Mike, and I didn't see
any reference to a "timeframe". Is that all there is to say about the
release date? Millions are waiting and wondering, right? Could you
enlighten us as to any problems SP-2 has that precludes establishing
a release date? We've heard "this summer" from others, and that's
pretty darn close. Will it make it or won't it, and "if not, why not?"
I'd like to know because I'm waiting to reformat and reinstall XP
with SP-2 slipstreamed (when SP-2 is released)...because I assume
that XP Pro with SP-2 slipstreamed will be a lot better than my
present XP Pro with hundreds of updates topped with SP-1 and
then SP-2 plunked on top of all that mess. Is that clear as mud?

If you've seen June specified somewhere, that's just someone's
estimate, which may or may not be correct. No offical release
date (or even month) has been announced.

Rusty,
The "mid -year 2004" is a time frame as mid year is not usually considerer
to be a precise date.
So yes that is all there is to say about the release date.
There are not "problems" with the SP2 dev that are precluding a published
specific date -. You need to understand that on a 200MB+ service pack that
is touching hundreds of files and adding new functionality - we are dealing
with a huge and complex software development project, that is touching
millions of lines of code in dozens of interconnected components and
systems.
Until we and those involved in testing are happy to sign off on the build
then we will be able to release it to manufacture.
Yes we have a schedule to work to, but the end date is flexible and movable
when your target is a quality driven release. and not a fixed end date so
must ship it whatever state it is in.
So Mid 2004 is Summer 2004 (in the northern hemisphere at least - hence our
use of a date and not season based statement)
You do not need to wait to slipstream.
A Windows XP SP1 plus hotfixes that has SP2 applied to it is the same result
as a bare Windows XP system patched to SP2 or a clean install with a slip
streamed SP2, as regards the operating system components. If you wish to
clean install then it is not for any reason related to the resultant
operating system install.

I have to say, thanks for an interesting and informative post. I am
glad to hear that a computer with SP1 and all the hotfixes installed
then having SP2 applied will equate to a clean install of SP1 and SP2.
I was really not looking forward to having to reinstall, just to get
rid of possible problems related to the hotfixes.

At the Microsoft TechNet Roadshow I attended last 2 days, the projected
slides all said "available July 2004". It was also interesting at each
presented reiterated the importance and significance of SP2.
Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Perhaps they'll release it July 4th, which lotus123 did back in 1986.

Just navigating to the page in IE gets the error pop-up. I have both my
firewall and my and pop-up blocker turned off.
When I run the search, all it does is reload the page.
Using FireFox, takes you to a different page, and works OK, but slow.

This above link will work in IE.
So far, it's seems to only crash out on NT Computers running IE 6.01 fully
patched, the .net framework and sun java. That's all I have been able to
figure out so far.

Kurt,
Try disabling sun java temporarily if you have msjava.
Internet options -Advanced
(reboot for changes to take effect)

Both
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/CurrentDL.aspx
and
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx
are fine on all my test machines (All XP or Server 2003) - HOWEVER non of my
machines are running wit the Sun Java VM. All have the MSFT one.
Can you possibly retest without the SUN Java runtime ? I'll run up a NT 4.0
machine and have a look on there.
