Windows Update Beta is in the middle of a little beta project, and we would really appreciate if all of you could be involved. Simply put it, we need your help.
The following two packages are being released to v4beta site:
The target system for these two packages is Windows 2000 + SP2 and/or SP3 only. For those not running Windows 2000 or running Windows 2000 SP4, please disregard this mail. We need at least 500 installs outside the US and 3000 installs in the US. We can achieve this if all testers participate. Please try the process a few times on same or different machines, if possible.
The duration of this beta is today until June 6, 2003; however, we really need heavy-hits on these express packages within the next week; and continuous testing will be greatly appreciated.
Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4) is a collection of updates that fixes issues to the Windows 2000 operating system. Windows 2000 SP4 can be applied to Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, and Windows 2000 with the Server Appliance Kit.
Windows 2000 SP4 improves on this quality by addressing the following issues:
Security
Application and hardware compatibility
Windows 2000 setup
Operating system reliability
Microsoft announced its Trustworthy Computing Initiative in January 2002 to make Windows a secure and reliable platform for our customers. This initiative started with .NET and XP. Now, Windows 2000 is part of that initiative.
