Service Pack 1a

[Pete Q]

I noticed that Windows has a service pack 1a for XP
users. Apparently this can be used in place of
the "original" service pack 1 that was released in Sept
2002 (assuming you haven't already loaded service pack 1)

I just recently had to reload my operating system and have
not loaded service pack 1 since I was told my many people
of problems they experienced in their operating system
after loading service pack 1.

Does anyone know if Service pack 1a was designed to
eliminate the performance problems that Service pack 1
created?

Any input would be appreciatd!

The differences between SP1 and SP1A are discussed on the Microsoft
site. Apparently all they did was pull the Java virtual machine out of
the pack.
