Now we have to ..

[Binninn]

Hello jo all
Just downloaded the SP1 and installed it and no prob

thanks for the link

Off topic....Now we have to change the name off this topic from
Windows XP SP1 Beta to Windows XP SP1.........

LOL

[TheCrossMovement]

Yeah, IF this is for real, than yeah we do.

[Sephiroth]

I'm fairly sure that it is, I just slipstreamed and reinstalled and it works great

[Grzyb]

No problems here also.....

Activated Win XP Home with B*** Key

Updated the previous Beta Installations without a hitch & still Activated.....

Looks like a pucker release.....Has SP 1 stamped all over the place NOT beta.....



EDIT

Just been to the Windows Update Site & it states that I need 1 Critical & 1 Windows Update......?????

Thought SP1 contained all the Patches & Fixes...????

Grzyb:
What is the size of the 1106 file download you received?

[devilotx]

Sp1 has all the updates to a point, there has to be a cut off point where MS says all updates to this point.

but it does work well doesnt it

@Woogie and all interested ones:

Mine is 140.440.152 bytes, files dated 29-08-2002 inside.

I built a slipstreamed CD from XP Corp, and I'm testing now inside a virtual machine.......

EDIT: Weird... the new EULA is somewhere inside the 135 MB SP1 patch file, but the slipstreamed CD setup still displays the old one... Looks like the new EULA displays only when updating to SP1, not with clean installs from slipstreamed CD

EDIT II: Installation went fine. Windows Update works (for now ?) and tells me about 3 updates: .NET framework, Movie Maker and euro conversion tool. Nothing more.

@ HamsterX I just did the update with Sp1 as an update not slipstreamed and all also went very good. I went to the update site and all is good, even the same updates as you found. I did not do a clean install yet, but it seems slightly faster than before.



EDIT:

I just changed the clock ahead 12 months and rebooted, still says sp1, but when i go to the update site there are NO updates, not even the 3 that were just there. So i changed the clock back and rechecked the update site and viola they are back..

I did a search on the hard drive for "eula" and found it to say 180 day right at the top. So I guess the best thing to do is fix it before the 180 days have passed

@ Dudelive

Where did that 180-day EULA come from ? SP1 or XP itself ?

Back one year ago I remember having read about an 180-day evaluation version of Windows XP which could be converted to full version by repalcing 4 files inside the I386 folder. The EULA was one of these files, but it had no practical effect in the usability of the OS, since its purpose was to warn about the limit... nothing more.

Maybe this EULA file was forgotten ?...
