Bateau Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 uninstalling sp2 is not an option for me.. you can't uninstall without problems.. Every SP2 build to date requires uninstall of previous build before upgrading. I've gone through 4 cycles each on my laptop and my desktop without issues. What problems do you have with uninstall and have you filed a bug for it?

AminoSC Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I'm downloading now at 30kb's per second @ winbeta. I have a question for those who are lucky enough to have it already installed.... Did you guys do a format/fresh install and how has it effected your system, is windows faster with this build? Thanks in advance for any info...... I'm stoked! :D AminoSC Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/177988-windows-xp-sp2-rc2-now-released/page/6/#findComment-2282665 Share on other sites More sharing options...

scyphe Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 This is pretty sad. None of the external testers got e-mails regarding RC-2's release. I guess NeoWin should be renamed http://ww.microsoft.com/windowsbeta If you check the newsgroups which all of us are required to do, Paul posted the announcement just a short while after the link appeared. Emailing all users take time, and in most cases it's queued on the mailservers while other projects are mailing etc. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/177988-windows-xp-sp2-rc2-now-released/page/6/#findComment-2283569 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scyphe Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Geez........can't anyone wait a couple of weeks for it to be released?Who cares if RC2 is available, UNLESS you are a sys admin wanting to check it on your systems BEFORE you deploy it system wide. Why anyonw would want to download this, other than bragging rights is beyond me. I even wait at least a week, when a SP comes out, let others screw around with bleeding edge......I want S-T-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y :alien: That's very sensible, for a non-tester. Non-testers really should wait for the final, since there's bugs in pre-final releases, and they can't report any findings or get official help. On the other hand, I don't care if people install it and screw up their systems. It's their choice. Personally, I see it as getting the edge on new technology as a learning experience, a way to influence the final product and enhance my own experience. I've betatested for Microsoft since 1999, and it's been a joy.
