| Yep |

| Yipee! Now an offtopic question, when do Media Services 9 go gold? |
| #3 By 3 (62.253.128.4) at Tuesday, September 03, 2002 08:16:38 AM |
| #5 - 1106 as that is the rtm |
| #4 By 3 (62.253.128.4) at Tuesday, September 03, 2002 08:17:17 AM |
| #3 - not til around November - but the beta 1 is released tomorrow. |
| #5 By 1845 (12.254.162.111) at Tuesday, September 03, 2002 08:40:47 AM |
| Thanks Byron. I had a horrible experience with an almost beta 1 build this weekend. It played files and was nice and pretty, but it killed even the 6.4 ActiveX control from playing in the browser. I was quite upset that I couldn't watch a Microsoft Seminar on XML development in .NET. I'll wait till WMP9 goes gold before I install it again. |
| #6 By 1845 (12.254.162.111) at Tuesday, September 03, 2002 08:41:44 AM |
| The link is still live for me. |
| #7 By 1868 (141.133.144.220) at Tuesday, September 03, 2002 08:52:38 AM |
| The link was officially pulled at 8:30am EST by Mircosoft Premier Support Division and has been reposted under a secure server. |

Great links. Download speed seems good.
Got error 403 access forbidden, try again and it works. http://www.lee.ic24.net/ |

| Why haven't they learned from past experience? |
| #10 By 2201 (212.117.228.131) at Tuesday, September 03, 2002 08:57:40 AM |
| Still works. Thank God for GetRight! ;) |
| #11 By 2201 (212.117.228.131) at Tuesday, September 03, 2002 09:16:11 AM |
| Yep, you're right. Ah well... |

How long have you been running it to know that it improved your stability? Or was your system so very unstable before?
I'm running it now, and I don't see a difference (other than the "Service Pack 1" when I goto Help | About. |

"133.93mb..... on 56k dial up"... dang
I think I should buy the cd! This post was edited by donpacman on Tuesday, September 03, 2002 at 11:17. |

| Anyone have a mirror site? |

If anyone actually got this, what's the CRC or MD5 value of the file? A nice MD5 tool is here:

#30 The tool at you the link you posted gives this value ecf625f6563dfcaeeecc4b1481899d4b
for xpsp1_en_x86.exe. Also, still get the save file dialog box when I click the link to the exe. I assume this means that it is still up and not password protected. This post was edited by BobSmith on Tuesday, September 03, 2002 at 12:40. |

| #32, whether it's Corporate or not shouldn't matter (unless it's the one with the stolen key...). Here's a pretty comprehensive guide to burning slipstreamed, bootable CDs: http://www.justinwojas.com/bootcd.htm |
| #18 By 3 (62.253.128.4) at Tuesday, September 03, 2002 01:05:47 PM |
| #34 - they are all the same - its just the MS has forgot or hasn't bothered to password control their premier site. |
| #19 By 3384 (12.224.50.203) at Tuesday, September 03, 2002 01:36:45 PM |
| #33, thanks. Yup, indeed the same as the is-it-or-isn't-it 1106 that leaked about a week ago. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. In this case it is. |
| #20 By 1845 (12.254.162.111) at Tuesday, September 03, 2002 02:22:51 PM |
| I don't see why everybody is so excited about getting a service pack. If it were beta 1 of Longhorn or a point release to XP, I can see the excitement. Maybe someone can explain why this has received so much press and is so terribly interesting to everybody. |

#47, how fast is your connection?
Not that I have it anyway, just curious. This post was edited by caryfields on Tuesday, September 03, 2002 at 15:32. |

This seems to be yet another false alarm ?
I went to the Premier Site (yes, I have full legal access) and it is STILL not listed. TL |
| #23 By 94 (66.126.25.196) at Tuesday, September 03, 2002 04:33:09 PM |
| I know a guy that is on the beta program, and he just started downloading it from the beta server, so, I should have it within an hour or so. If someone has a site, I'll be happy to upload it. As long as the site is fast, and it is made public so everyone else can get it too. |

asdasdasd - Well I can certainly understand waiting... I usually wait a few weeks as well.
But I'm curious about your comment "all the fixes are already available!", as that's never been true in the past. |

Just get eDonkey2000 at www.edonkey2000.com, install it and search for "SP1 1106"
Enjoy ! |

Well, we finally got my hands on it through alternative channels. (One of the benefits from your office being next door to a Microsoft's sales office)
BobSmith - You know it's this way with every service pack... don't know why. hughwolfgang - Microsoft will setup a mirror... next week when they release it to the public. :) It'll go out on their Akamai distributed mirroring cluster of servers and be easy as peach pie to download. |

Looks like they took it off the server. Get right had it downloaded to 132 megs then lost the server now for about 4 hours. So it looks as though they either moved it or took it down for a while. This post was edited by Dusty on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 at 01:51. |

I found a site that had about 5 mirrors. Not sure how good they are and much of the page isn't english, but heck...its more than you have now. ;)
