280629 2004-10-12 20:48:00 I'm thinking of moving from W2000 Pro to XP Pro sometime next year when I build a new comp and I assume by that time MS will have integrated SP2 into the retail package so that it becomes just another OS instal.

Am I living a lie, or is there hope?

Cheers

280630 2004-10-12 20:52:00 The OEM versions that I buy have just started coming with SP2 integrated as of this week. Don't know about the retail packages though. Most likely will take quite a bit longer. CYaBro (73)

280635 2004-10-13 05:01:00 A bit of the thread topic, but...
Freind of mine just bought a copy of XP Pro SP2 from a Canadian website, really cheap!!
CD was a printable princo with nice colours, Serial was nicely printed on to CD
Looked real flash & she was totally rapt till she tried to use it to upgrade XP home to XP Pro SP2 & it failed halfway thru installation & trashed the system.
That was when she rang me to have a look & I took the wind out of her sails in 2 secs when I told her it was an illegal copy
Not so cheap now!
Hmmm, some people are just so dumb
