When the F is win2k sp3 coming out?

Bueller? Anybody?
Supposedly there is a beta version of sp3 out but I'm not about to try beta versions of bug fixes.

According to this site it has been released to manufacturing - which is a little wiered for a patch.

But apparently very soon.

I'm not about to try beta versions of bug fixes

But you're willing to run a beta version of an operating system?

But I thought microsoft only ever released beta versions?
The final code is only shipped four weeks before announcing EOL and requiring that you upgrade to the latest untested beta.
Rather like their latest Bend Over licensing.

not really... i've seen a ton of official W2K SP2 cds in my line of work

Here you go... Article
Here is the download link, that should work tomorrow... too bad it doesn't work now. I got my hopes up, and was perparing to install it on my 20 win2k servers, but looks like tomorrow for the fun download link

oliver, when you get all 20 done, get you lets us know what it fixes/breaks so we don't have to find out the hard way?

Don't have to wait until tomorrow...

Do we know pasically what it fixes?

Hey Tom,
How did you get that link? Thats some pretty cool [censored]. Now the question, should i install it?

bout to patch my dev server... see if it nukes it

It was posted on neowin.net yesterday on the front page.

Patched up my dev server, my production webserver, production sql farm, and my pdc and bdc. So far without any problems, i did create backups on tape, and also backup old files just in case i needed to uninstall. i will keep the sping going, and i'll update if one of my servers explode

Does it really matter when SP3 is released. Bill manboy couldn't get Windblows right no matter how many versions, releases, or hot fixes are released. M$ code continues to swell with bugs as it becomes more bloated and slower.

Heh, every time I see M$, this comic pops into my mind:

I'm thinking on going to comic-con this weekend JUST to hang out with the Penny-Arcade guys. LOL.

That's so double edged. I love it.

Calvin

Damn, my con is at the same time as ComicCon.

Hey, by the way, back on topic, Strouds is listing the download location for Win2k SP3.

"Gates of Borg"

OS/2 Magazine was selling a poster of Gates outfitted as the Borg back in '94 "Resistance is Futile". What a classic.

DarkStorm was near the mark "If I ever see Bill Gates... I will kill the SOB" I would prefer seeing prolonged agonizing misery, Tower of London style.
