Retail Box Versions Of SP2?
Hi. Will Microsoft replace the current uprgrade and full
retail box versions of SP1 with SP2? If they do will SP2 be on one CD or will their be the SP1 CD then the SP2 CD will be on on separate CD? Also will the retail boxed versions have driver updates on it? I some one listing on Buy.Com for preorder but it had SP2 at $222.00 for the full version I hope Microsoft won't raise the price on SP2. Thanks, Craig. |

I think Buy.com has their prices mixed up. They have XP
SP2 Pro at $198 and Home at $222. Then they have another Pro version for $330. http://www.buy.com/retail/searchresults.asp? search_store=2&qu=XP+SP2&loc=105 -----Original Message----- Hi.

Craig;
Little has been said how that will be accomplished so it seems someone is selling what he thinks may exist and not necessarily will exist. The CD with just Windows XP Service Pack 2 will be free: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...efault810.mspx Most likely Microsoft will immediately begin manufacturing Windows XP including SP2. However if they do what they did for SP1, there will be no identifying if or what Service Pack is included. This is to prevent people thinking there is a newer version and buying it because they think it is new. As for driver updates? Who knows. However drivers come from the hardware manufacturers only if the manufacturer pays for the certification necessary. If the manufacturer has not done it then you already know the answer is No. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ wrote in message ... Hi.
