Yes, I understand entirely.
I was using 98 for years before XP Pro SP2.
I'm not afraid -- just inquisitive. g
Sorry, bad choice of words on my part. One big problem with the
written word is that intonation and body language is impossible,
we're left with just BS like grin to tell people our feelings.
You came across - to me - like you were getting a panic attack.
I'll try to be more sensitive, DSH.
Thanks.
XP Pro SP2 is phat though.

Right now,
my wife's slower PC with a lot less memory and only 20 gigs
HDD is whining at me that her XP Pro SP1 is no longer
supported, the little nag pop-ups and icons in the systray
coming from MS, of course. Well, it is still getting
security fixes as well, and I think it will continue to do
so.
I didn't know that.
I'm running XP Pro SP2...
Can it be far behind?
Two years at most?
Do you think there will be an SP3 -- and if so, when?
It is doubtful to me that there will be an SP3, as Vista
replaces any major maintence releases of XP. But, I would
expect MS to support XP, SP1 and SP2 indefinitely for
critical updates and security patches, but not features or
other kinds of bugs.
When my wife gets a pop-up, she just ignores it as the
babbling of someone who is trying to scare her into
upgrading, who would be me, and I am not easily intimidated.
As to SP2, I have seen nothing. Still, what exactly are you
afraid of? I know many people leading perfectly happy lives
with Win 95/98, Win ME, and Win XP Home or Pro native, no
SPs.
