Of course!

He would still have to follow up on the info in the email.

On whose mailing list?

We still don't know if OP's referring to WinXP SP3 or...

Nevertheless, WinXP SP3 is still in beta.

 

[Unknown]

On MS mailing list. I got a copy (I'm on their list) and can download and
install SP3.

 

[Colin Barnhorst]

MS may be sending these to everyone in one of their databasees or randomly
to a percentage to try to broaden the testing base as the product moves
towards release. It still should not be installed on a production or primay
home computer because there is no support from MS Product Support Services
yet. But its all up to the user.

do normal updates and down the left side select "Change Settings" on that
page check the show "Beta". then go back and check updates again Win XP SPA
CRY will be listed. anyone can get it. I loaded it on a EVGA 780i w/ E6600
BFG 7950's SLI in 2 RAID sets and it works fine. not one problem. as a
matter of fact I think its a little fasted then it was?

 

[Colin Barnhorst]

Yes. The TechBeta testers who are the ones working with it the longest
report a 5% to 10% increase in performance. I think that is largly
anecdotal. I haven't seen benchmarks. But it does appear faster to me too.

Of course it was XP SP3

I've seen the same approximate increase.

So whats the deal.
It went to install...archived all the old files, installed the new
ones, Then an ACCESS DENIED

Then had to uninstall all the new ones and reinstall the old one, so I
guess I don't get SP3 ??

Any Ideas?
Thanks

I think I can clear this up. I received an email from Dave Brehm with a
screenshot. While I will not attach binaries - I have no problem putting it
up on Google. ;-)

As you can see, Dave Brehm was offered Windows XP SP3 Release Candidate 2
through AU. My guess is that this happened because the registry hack was
applied to the system in order to allow it - but whatever - it was a version
of Windows XP SP3 <-- just obviously not the final (unreleased as of now)
version. ;-)

Read the posts.

Dave Brehem (dgbrehm) is the OP. While Shenan appears to have had a private
conversation with Dave in which he says he was referring to WinXP SP3, in
none of Dave's three (3) posts to this thread did he identify WinXP SP3 so
how can you say "Of course it was XP SP3...Read the posts"?...

More like nonsense. Never assume.

Common sense.

 

[Colin Barnhorst]

Guys, the subject line of the OP is "service pak 3." He mentions it in the
body. Surely we're not nitpicking his spelling.

 

[Unknown]

But, PA Bear doesn't know if it is for XP, Office, or whatever.

It is rocket science! Messages in Windows XP.general tend to be more
about windows than Office. Does this help you.

There are enough dummies posting here that the question NEEDED to be
asked.
