We did a test with RC2 and it works great. Very solid SP and performance is top notch.
MS did a great job with this and a great service to all users and businesses. I am very pleased with how MS has managed ActiveX and other COM Client control - an excellent balance between usability and security. One note, some AV SW, will falsely report that it is not enabled/running for restricted users. We've noted this opposite some AV Vendor programs - Panda Platinum and Titanium. |

#1,
You have the procedure for that (and maintaining a bootable disk) ? I had it but lost it somewhere along the way. TL |

I'm concerned about Novell...
The last two machines I put it on had the "My Network Places" functionality busted. TL |

| skulhedface's responses make about as much sense as Georgie's campaign speeches. |

TechLarry: A procedure for slipstreaming SP2 (it also worked for sp1a) into Windows XP can be downloaded as a PDF at:
http://jandrpc.com/slipstream.htm I believe Microsoft has a slightly different procedure (and possibly a slipstream aid) on their Partners web site. I'll remove the page in a few days since it will have served its purpose by then. |

Ok Bob, got it. Thanks!
Thanks for all the input guys :) The slip-streaming part wasn't too hard. It was the part about retaining bootability that escaped me. It was a lot easier in the Win9x days :) TL |

TechLarry: The link to download ISObuster is http://www.smart-projects.net/isobuster/
ISObuster is used to extract the file from the original install CD that makes it bootable. |
