Windows XP Sp3 Beta Testing Approved!

Well getting back to the things that I enjoy! :P

Microsoft has chosen me along with a minimal amount of other testers to try out the Service Pack 3 available for Windows XP (Professional Edition here). The latest beta of XP SP3 will be delivered to MSDN and TechNet subscribers.



Note: Ignore the sidebar, which was something I added from Vista to XP, this in no way is incorporated with the Service Pack!

Funny enough the latest WMP and IE were not slipstreamed in this SP to WMP11 and IE7 respectively. Still a new build is in the works and I’ve received word that I'll have a new build within the next week or so to test, here's to hoping that there will be newer and greater improvements within this new build of SP3.

Now here's to hoping that Microsoft will accept me amongst the 10,000-15,000 beta testers for Windows Vista's SP1 build which also is to be released next week, all I can say is I have been accepted for that and am awaiting word further (or a download link).



I'll report more on how this all plays out, of course I'll have to water it down to please MS abiding by my disclosure agreement.

Where have you been?

Hi guys,

I have not blogged in some time, just less than two weeks in fact.

I've been very ill, unfortunately for me I was sick as a dog; Fever, joint and muscle aches not to mention the occasional vomiting which I guess was the upside of it all. :)
Still I can laugh and smile about it now being damn glad I'm over it but sadly I've spread it onto my other family members and now they are sick... :(

Oh well these things happen but now that I'm well and feeling pretty lively I will be blogging more occasionally.

Until a lil' later...

Cheers for now.

AAQ.
