Hello,

I was just curious if anyone has tested Win XP SP2 Beta. If so, was there
an increase in the performance of Windows?

Thanks,

Francis

The only obvious change is your clock/time zone setting.

Are you referring to Windows XP SP2.
This is still in beta development and isnt advisable to use it in a productive environment.

I'm afraid you're always going to find idiots who don't heed warnings -
probably because they don't read them in the first place!

Probably don't read instruction manuals or stop to ask for directions
either. It's a guy thing.
