So, um... why are people complaining so much about the size of this XP Service Pack 2? It's funny, really. They're just lucky that they don't have to update a Windows server  |

 That's me testing the SP1 (Windows Server 2003) in VMware to see how smooth the update should be. If you've ever work on Windows servers, you'll notice that they're rarely updated immediately without some unimportant computer (or virtual machine, in this case) doing the testing. Often, you might just find servers that just aren't updated at all (my school runs Windows NT 4 Server SP3 as the main serer still; SP6a is the last).You might even know the trouble of doing the workstation updates, such as Windows 2000 SP4 or Windows XP SP2. Now think of a Windows server that is much more critical to keep up. You don't usually have the freedom to have it down for a while. Funny when I think of it.... other operating systems, such as Solaris, GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, etc, have extremely smooth updates with very, very rare downsides. |

| Yeah, but once you get the CD-ROM, you may as well have downloaded it 50 times. | |||

| Reminds me of the drivers for my Logitech camera. 70MB uncompressed. No way in hell are they going to convince me a camera driver needs that much space (wasn't Windows 95 only like 20?). So I just grabbed the actual driver file off the disc and left the rest of their crap to rot... Feel sorry for the people who have to DL it though. (35MB compressed, but uses one of them installer packages.) |

Trust me, I don't think school administrators EVER update software.  Lots of computers at my old CEGEP were still using Windows 98 - not XP, not 2K, not even 98SE. They ended up upgrading to 2K and now all of Concordia's computers seem to use XP or 2K, but I'd question how timely the updates come - if at all. |

| For the last 6 months it has been our goal at my tech school to remove any machine running windows 98 or well anything running a windows 9x OS. Luckily most machines are running 2000 professional. My schoool is fairly dependant on our network and we test any updates for a few days before applying them. |

| Usually updates throughout a school are imaged from one computer and sent to others throughout the network. That download isnt too bad. Think about the people who download Ragnarok Online. I dont complain about updates... I just heard a lot of bad things about Service Pack 2. (edited by Randy53215 on 05-27-05 05:44 AM) |

| Being bored is awesome! Windows 2003 with a Welcome Screen (here a screenshot of the fast user switching; please note the build tag, not the banner):  Windows 2000 with the Windows NT 4 Explorer (cannot get a desktop, just the explorer part; better than a BSOD it'd normally give while running it):  (edited by FreeDOS on 05-28-05 07:27 AM) |
