Windows XP SP1 Due To Go Gold This Week | |
|
||
| Time: 05:16 EST/10:16 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
A few of our friends at Microsoft have informed us that the Windows XP Service Pack 1 is due to go gold by Friday, not really much of a surprise now that the beta test is at the release candidate stage and that yet another build was leaked out to the net early this morning (Build 1105). Stay tuned. | ||

| It is not ready for prime time yet. This could be a major blow for MS if the NTFS file access bug is not fixed. |

I just have one question, what are you talking about #1? I have not heard of this one before, can you please enlighten me so I may pass my own judgment?

NTFS file access bug?
Does this apply for networks only? Please back up what you say instead of scare mongering. Micro$oft's last major Windows service pack, Windows 2000 SP3 I've had no problems since installing. I'll be posting a link on my site when XP SP1 is released. www.lee.ic24.net |

Yes, I'd like to see a reference on this bug too.
BTW... Is it just me, or has ActiveWin Access become very, _very_ slow recently ? TL |

The ntfs bug #1 refers to i think is the performance issue in xp. NTFS volumes in xp are much slower than fat32 volumes simply because ntfs is a jounal file system. In .net microsoft tweaked ntfs to be MUCH faster. However this is just a service pack. Service packs just have bug fixes. To get ntfs working faster it might have taken a lot of effort. Major rewrites of code are done in new os', not service packs. And as microsoft says. windows .net is not xp with sp1, it is a lot more stuff that will not be in xp. If you really want the faster ntfs you will have to use .net or wait until the next version of windows.

As long as it doesn't kill NWN or my Cable Internet, then it's all good...

mmm, slow for me as well.
oh, I know what I wanted to talk about: i was wondering if anybody can confirm that MS has implemented the same key-check that is in Windows XP SP-1, with Windows 2000 Advanced Server (SP-3)? (ie. denying windowsupdate access) |

| Hi all - we're looking into the speed problem although some of us haven't noticed it. We're assuming it is a line fault somewhere here. |

Over the past week I've been seeing slow access coming from the BBN lines to Sprint lines... Although it seems to be working fine now.
Still not sure what this NTFS bug is. shenan - I don't think so. Are you having problems? |

| What's up with cutting off yesterdays articles already? A great debate was beginning to brew with me and bob670 and I was quite looking forward to continuing it. |

#6, it isn't NTFS that MS tweaked in .NET server, it's the file sharing (SMB + caching techniques, etc.).
Also, NTFS is not much slower than fat32, but only a couple percent. The journaling doesn't significantly affect performance, but yes, if you want to get a 2% or 3% or so performance gain, you would look into fat32, depending on the application. Fat32 has other performance characteristics as volume sizes grow, etc., so in some applications it can actually perform worse. If anyone has some substantiated benchmarks to back up these claims, please post links to them. |

| #10 We use Sprint. I think it is with them...Definitely not the server (triple checked). #11, Hopefully I want to have a headline view soon of the last seven days - headlines, and comments streamlined for easy access to recent stories. |
| #13 By 3 (62.7.103.117) at 8/27/2002 5:27:06 PM |
| #11 - As bob has already said - we hope to get a headline view up and a list of the top commented on stories over the week very soon. We have to remove the previous days news as we have to remember not everyone is on a cable modem and some still use dial up. |
| #14 By 40 (216.68.248.2) at 8/28/2002 12:10:01 PM |
| NTFS bug is dealing with files on a local NFTS parition. Files can be written and deleted but not acessesed otherwise. It happens randomly, and never happens with fat32 partitions. Whe attempting to read the file or copy it the error message : file in use occurs. I have rebooted, defraged, scandisk, and still can not read the files. This has nothing to do with network file access. |

| Wow I use an XP machine all day long and the go home and use one and have never seen this error. Is it documented on the Knowledge Base? |
