XP SP2 Beta Anyone?

[RVN]

I'm really enjoying this particular feature.

I turned off the enhanced software firewall (I'm using ZA) and I'm not automatically updating ...a much more concerted effort on "their" part in an attempt to let "them" take over. But, the "never install this software by .... such and such company" option on the pop ups (you'll find it under the advanced tab, when they occur) are most welcome when it comes to getting hit by those "web meteor showers" that want you to download and install their software, when you occasionally encounter them.

Instead of the "Always trust content from so and so" there now is the option to never trust, run or install their crap. Definitely a step in the right direction!

Actually the "feature" that I like about it most is the updated windows update client and service.

Mozilla already has pop-up blocking and tabbed browsing (not to mention that it's a bit faster and less prone to breakage). I guess the old addage is correct, you go with what you know

XP SP2 Beta? Ok, I've had my head in the books too long, when was this released?

It's not a public beta, so unless you're a beta tester or maybe a MSDN subscriber you have to wait till it officially gets released.

Huh? To my knowledge that has been around forever.
