I haven't said i have it . And yes i know it's not official.
MS timeline is to release sp2 in early/mid 2004.
There are sites like winbeta neowin etc. that leaks
pre beta service packs .It was the same with sp1 .
I think that i wont bother trying to get it .
But it would be interesting to hear if anyone has loadet it.
Maybe there are some new features ..

Regarding features i think at some point MS
has to implement some changes for XP over the next years.
it getting "old"
This might be driven by that Longhorn is announced to be delayed to 2006 .
Windows 2003 server sp1 will allow xp clients to seamlessly
connect to ip sones without all the autification stuff for different sones.
Thats one new feature for sp2 i guess .
If there will be other enhancments i don't know .
Curious..

MS announced SP2 ahead of schedule, for December 2003!
There will be no new features, just most security patches.
For instanve, the build in Firewall wiil default to ON! Some of us will not like that, but the again it is a good move for the ignorant home user.
From then on, patches will be bundled on a Monthly base, unless an urgent issue arises.

I personally will wait for the official one .
The comps i use myself with xp , and the ones at the company with sp1 and auto updating enabled is not giving much problems .The W2K workstations seems to be more stable though in office enviroment.
Strange that none of the readers in the forum has installed it , it's out on the internet and with full uninstall . I remember there was a race/sport before Sp1 became official to get the betas .
Thanks for sharing..
