Win2k SP2 out. Anyone upgrade yet ?

[kyutip]

My Win2k is working just fine (never upgrade yet).
Should I stick to the credo, don't fix what's not broken ?
or should I upgrade ? (if I do upgrade can I go directly to SP2 or should I go through SP1 first ?)

Upgrade.. there are a lot of security fixes...

Where do I get it? I'll try it... what the heck, this OS has run too well for too long to actually be from Microshaft.

microsoft.com or google.com?

Try the AnandTech search feature.

Like duh... I already did try to search for it... and everything I read said it's not out yet.

How rude!

go to firingsquad website, go to news, there is a direct link to the file.
watch out, it's 100MB, better be packing broadband

Its out but not on the windows update page therfor soem people think its not out.

It is recommended by me and others due to the security fixes which are about 50% of the sp.

I think this is it

I read on arstechnica that people who upgraded have many problems, even BSOD.

Yes that is possible due to unforseen third party dirvers and software. I suggest uninstalling the via 4in1 drivers and never installing them again before you instlal sp2. Install the via agp driver though.

I guess you didn't search too hard. Link

 

[Double Trouble]

Dang man, 100 Meg!? I want to upgrade my OS with some patches and bugfixes, not download a new operating system.... Ah, the good old days when I could fit my entire OS (that actually used to work!) on a floppy or two. Sigh....

<< Just got a few mails from some folks that ARE having issues with networking with the SP2 for Win2K. As always, we suggest you backup before you lay down this kind of &quot;upgrade&quot;.

Just thought I would let you know that the install of SP2 just hosed my user settings and has broken the trust relationship with the local domain. Even after removing my workstation from the domain and adding it back, the trust relationship could not be reestablished. >>
