WinXP SP2 Beta Version 2055

[Guest]

Cowboy, If your still reading this after the crappy way you've been treated....... I'm an unoffical tester too, and I solved the same problem you're having. Go to Network Connections and install the Client for Microsoft Networks. Then go to services and start Workstation, Background Intelligent Transfer, and Automatic Updates. The updates should then install.

For some reason my last couple post didn't seem to make it. So agaim I will say Thank You SOMEBODY, THe Background Intelegence Transfer Service was the last piece of the puzzle I needed. Now the updates download with no problems. Now ya see Carey and Chris you were wrong, I did find the answer to my problem right here in this Newsgroup,,,,Of course that was with no help from you two. You two were to busy hoping Daddy Bill Gates would send you a present or something for being such ^&^%$&^^%$, you know what I mean don't ya? By the way Carey and Chris, ole Cowboys gonna stick around for awhile to help some of these people.
For the rest of the posters thank you for your support and helping me keep the faith it support groups.

Since you
"found your answer" you may now leave without replaying to this
message. Your kind are not welcome here.

What "kind" were you thinking of as being unwelcome?
Microsoft customers?
Windows users?
MSDN subscribers?
People who occasionally ask a question in one forum or newsgroup when
another might be better?
People who get annoyed at being treated in a shabby manner for no good
reason that I can see.

I guess I had better unsubscribe then. I've done/been all the above.

Chris, with respect, I don't think its your place to tell people whether or
not they are welcome in a public newsgroup that isn't moderated at all, let
alone by you.

Cowboy, if you read this, I don't know what "your kind" is exactly as
described in the post I'm replying to, but as far as I'm concerned you are
welcome here.

BETA testing of XPSP2 has just begun. Here is the public information which
is available:

Hi John, Many thanks for that info, and for the link to the doc 'Changes
to Functionality in Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2' which is a bit
technical, but seems to give the picture. I have seen reference to
version 1a elsewhere, and wondered Is this a worthwhile download at all

SP1a is exactly the same as SP1 but with the MS Java Virtual Machine
removed. So if you already have SP1 installed there is no reason to
download/install SP1a. See this link for info on why Microsoft is
removing the JVM from their products -

Hi Robert,,,,your guess is as good as mine on what kind I am. I guess I am the kind that uses Miccrosoft Products, but won't take any crap from Morons. Thanks for your KIND words.

Hey ****wit's wake up! You are stealing software. It
does not matter about your "no strings attached"
download. It's not YOURS.

There has been NOTHING WRONG with what anyone has said to
you. A ****wit as atupid as you asking for help with a
beta you SHOULD NOT HAVE.

What kind of dumbass are you? Why dont you leave and go
be a good "unoffical tester" (if there is such as thing)

These ****wit's get stupider with every beta M$ puts out.

It's no good you hiding. Your post has Bill Gates written all over

Uh.. at no point did the poster say they warezed the download. That no
strings attatched download could be from MSDN as a MSDN subscriber. That
would make their downloading of SP2 legitimate. Its dangerous to assume too
much.

Said to me (as its me you are replying to). But I'm allowed to have it.

If you mean me again, as its me you are replying to, I'm an "Official
tester" (if there is such as[sic] thing).

I assume you mean yourself?

Hi, We had established that the OP had no MSDN subscription and was not a
valid tester. You all may continue this as long as you wish, but this is my
closing post.

The software is not yours. Do not come here to post for help or whatever
you want to call it until the software is released to the public.

-Relevance to Topics:XP SP2 is not relevant, as it has not been released to
the public.
-Confidentiality:All beta testers are always under non-disclosure
agreement's (NDA)

{The software is not yours. Do not come here to post for help or whateve

I take it back, you are as big an idiot as the Anonymous poster. And the invatation is open to you also if you come to Dallas. I have never seen so many punk ass morons in one place in my life.

Sorry, I missed that bit. Perhaps you could point me to where that happened?

and was
not a valid tester. You all may continue this as long as you wish,
but this is my closing post.

I can't speak for anyone else, but Chris, if *I* want to post here for help
on anything, I will. People don't need your permission to post, any more
than they need mine. But you know, despite being fairly well known for
having a sharp tongue myself, I've managed to answer people and say
substantially what you said but without causing a flame war. Have you ever
considered why that might be?

If you disagree with something then I'd suggest either ignore it, or if you
feel you must speak it is always better to be polite about it. You can catch
more flies with a drop of honey than you can with a bucket of vinegar, you
know.

And I always respect NDAs.

Advise well taken.

Side note. This all started with the MSDN discussion. Tom Porterfield
brought up the MSDN topic.

Sorry all for the way I have acted.

Hi Tom

Can you please give us an idea about how big SP2 (network) is. People on
Dial-Up like me have to arrange for it via cable downloaders. Also, does
the beta have all the proposed fixes, and is it essentially just being
"tested"? Or will more fixes be incorporated as time progresses?

Thanks!

This is Tom's earlier reply to me. The only thing not answered is the
length of the download
.........

Probably not questions that can be answered. After all, all private beta
testers are under strict NDA. MS has released some information that can
be found at the following links:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnwxp/html/securityinxpsp2.asp
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/winxpsp2.asp

SP2 is currently in early beta, so things are still subject to change as
the beta progresses.

Thanks shojo, at this time there isn't anything else I can add to the

*sigh*

I've seen debates more professional than this in the AOL chatrooms.

 

[Guest]

Wow, I randomly stumbled upon this and all I have to say is well.. LOL

Some of you (2 of you) are elitists and project the "OMG you need to have authorisation, Look at me LOOK AT ME!" attitude

Grow up, If someone needs help they need help. Its not your place to question whether or not they should have it and tell them they will only get help if they are "AUTHORISED

Some people I swear...

 

[Guest]

Yes - I agree. That's why there aren't really Microsoft "enthusiasts". Mr. Frisch needs to develop his people skills. I hope he is not in the employ of Microsoft but rather some kind of unpaid lackey... at least that would make me feel a bit better.
