Thanks go out to the various readers who have e-mailed in their invites to the upcoming Windows XP Service Pack 1 beta test. It looks like there will be two different styles, one intergrated onto a CD for OEM's and the downloadable service pack for all of us other users.
Windows XP SP 1 will be available in several
variations. You have been selected randomly to participate in only a subset of
these primary variations, which you will be made aware of very soon. You will
not be able to alter your placement.
- SP 1 “Standalone” – updates an existing
Windows XP Home Edition installation.
- SP 1 “Standalone” – updates an existing
Windows XP Professional installation.
- SP 1 “Integrated” – updated Windows XP CD,
for clean installs, updating existing Windows 98/Me/NT4/2000 machines, or
updating Windows XP machines.
