Carey, the beta build of SP2 is available for download to all MSDN
subscribers, so it's not just authorized beta testers who can install/test
beta 1 of SP2.

Hi, despite your personal feelings for people this is not the right place to
post in order to get help with SP2 beta. The OP may post in the correct
beta newsgroup or MSDN newsgroup. If they don't have access to either they
can live with it the way it is, or uninstall it.

Yes there are but they are developer centric. There isn't one setup for
questions about the Windows operating system or for betas. That, and the
MSDN newsgroups are the exact same newsgroups that you can use when
connecting either using a newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com or using the

Carey does not do well with SP's. Remember after SP1 was released for THREE
WEEKS Carey was still claiming it was still in BETA. I lost all respect for
the MVP program when this jerk was allowed in.

Even so, If you have an MSDN subscription you are most likely using it to
develop software based on a few of the new technologies. Meaning an MSDN
group would still be a good place to start.

Informing the OP to repost his question regarding SP2 beta
issues to the proper newsgroup was a correct and thoughtful
response.

And what would your suggestion have been?

MSDN subscribers should know full well to discuss their issues
among their peers within a MSDN newsgroup.

ridiculous statement I have ever heard anyone make,
especially a MVP or someone that says they are.

Windows XP's standard backup utility is not designed to
