277955 2004-10-03 19:36:00 I hear that SP2 on PC World is a beta version and that the MS SP2 CD is a final version. Are in fact these two CD's the same?

With thanks,
Hopeless.

Ummm, I have the SP 2 CD from PCW, & as far as I can tell, it is the full version, I would not think that PCW would be that stilly/stupid to do that.

So to your question unless Iam wrong Yes both CD"s from MS & PCW are the same

Hope this helps.
