I don't see any reference to the "Delayed Write Failed" errors that many of
us XP Pro users experience while moving large files, or copying large numbers of files. I guess they don't feel that it was a bug... oh sorry, "issue" worth fixing. "marx404" wrote in message t...

Hi, no! Window XP Service Pack 2 will *begin* beta testing within the next
few weeks. It had not started yet. It is still expected to be released in 2004. "marx404" wrote in message t... XP Service Pack 2 is in testing right now and will be out soon it looks like.

Oh goody... that's means we're going to get lots & lots of posts from idiots
who've installed leaked version's of the beta and screwed up their PC's... Remember all the fun & games when SP1 was being beta'd? *shudder* Please MS, this time stick a ruddy great big dialog in the middle of the screen everytime a PC boots with an SP2 beta saying if you installed it and are NOT on the beta program, any problems are your own stupid fault!!

haha, Lorne. Funny, I was kicking myself last night after posting that,
thinking "now Ive gone and done it! ineviateably some dummy will get ahold of the beta and screw up his pc". Hey, they'll do it anyways. Actually, from what I have read, PUBLIC beta testing is not available jusy yet, while internal testing and development are under way. I do hope that they also provide outgoing firewall protection this time. marx404 |

Yes, you're keygens & cracks are safe.
From what I've heard, it goes something like this - Microsoft is set to release a test version of the next update, which adds security features as well as improved support for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi networks. The beta version of Windows XP Service Pack 2 is expected to be made available to testers soon via Microsoft's developer Web site. The final version is expected to be released in the first half of next year. "SP2 beta is intended for software developers and IT professionals to conduct early testing to allow Microsoft to collect valuable customer feedback" Among the security improvements are a beefed-up Windows Firewall, and software designed to block pop-up ads and prevent the unintended downloading and installation of software. The company also turned off the Windows Messenger service, which had been abused by some hackers. Microsoft also said it has taken a number of steps to reduce a type of exploit known as a buffer overrun, but the company warned that it is probably impossible to completely eliminate such vulnerabilities. The new Windows XP will make it easier to turn on the automatic update feature. -- John Oh goody... that's means we're going to get lots & lots of posts from idiots who've installed leaked version's of the beta and screwed up their PC's...

Well the "Delayed Write Failed" issue is all over the Web now days. Seeing more and more of it if you start searching around for it, you'll find it on a lot of Bulletin Boards. Here is just one example
