  XP update to sport more than just fixes
Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Robert Stein

Thanks Ben. Microsoft will deliver the first major update to Windows XP as early as the third quarter, a company spokesman said Thursday. In its update, Microsoft plans to roll in some significant technology enhancements along with the bug fixes it typically includes in updates or service packs to operating systems such as Windows NT and 2000. A service pack is a cumulative collection of fixes and updates for a desktop operating system that otherwise would be available as separate downloads.

Relax #1.

Microsoft will not get paid for the major ugrade directly. Service Packs are free for those who already bought the OS. What this will do is give those who have not yet upgraded to XP one more reason to do so, and in that way, MS will make money.

I am not sure if they will turn some features on, but I doubt it will be any harder to turn them back off. For example, after every new version and service pack of IE, the first time you start IE it goes to a MS page, but click on the Home button takes you back to your regular home page. No big deal for me -- the upgrades that come with Service Packs well outweigh such a minor change. I will admit though that I would be concerned if the setting changes were greater than that. But if you are concerned, just watch for the reaction in ActiveWin and other sites, I am sure that issues such as setting changes will be mentioned by the early adapters.

Can we please stop trying to address every Microsoft-basher that posts on this site. Instead of answering their "bait"... lets just have some serious conversation around the specific stories... PLEASE.

Now for my comment about the story... I wonder how XP SP1 will support Mira and Freestyle. I don't need those for my desktop. Will they be installed anyway? Anyone have an idea based on something in the past? Thanks.

Windows XP already offers stability. Oops, sorry mooresa56! :)

This is interesting. I think, mooresa56, that what they are talking about is support in the OS for drivers that may work with those devices. Sort of like how USB 2.0 is being integrated. So if you don't have those devices it won't matter, but it will give you the option of buying said device some day.

This does make some sense in the realm of a service pack. Microsoft had in previous service packs for NT4 included totally new features. Such as IIS 3.0 in SP3. They've since said they aren't going to do that. So it is unlikely we'll see .Net runtimes in the service pack, however they may be shipped on the same CD, or even auto-installed to future WinXP versions that ship from the store or OEMs.

#9 You forgot to mention that all you said is speculations. When the package will be out we will see what is it about. Btw I found that the process of changing XP settings is much easier than setup a Linus OS.

I don't think the new functionality is the cause for the 3rd quarter release. Check the statement about the final component being changes to adhere to the consent decree.

#8 - Ah yes, since the point of business is to rake customers over the coals and thereby make lots of money. After all, customers love giving money to those who do them harm.

Man, you should teach economics!

I have XP Pro and what ever MS does I hope everyone can befit from it.

I _thought_ Windows XP was stable...

Until I used MacOS X.

Don't worry guys, there's room in everyone's life for both :)

I agree Tech Larry--well, actually I'm still using 2000 but imagine it being relatively similar. I actually had better experiences back with NT. Now, yes, I don't get bluescreens in 2000, but that doesn't mean Outlook, IE, Explorer, or all three don't crash and bring down the system. The stability of 2000 and XP is nothing special in my mind. On the other hand, X is a beauty. I never minded MacOS crashes because they were quick to restart from, a snap to fix the problem, and I save often, but Wow, the improvement of X is amazing--I can throw tons and tons of crap at it, and it just won't break. I know I've had good luck but I would say that I have kept my X mchine on 80% of the time since Public Beta and have not had a single crash that impaired the system and required a reboot. Not even when Classic crashes has my system frozen.

The only things that are keeping OS X stable right now are:
- A limited amount of hardware and drivers
- Almost no 3rd party software to install

I would like to spend this time thanking both TechLarry and sodajerk. They say laughter is good for the soul, and reading their posts has certainly rejuvenated my soul today! :-)
