What has Gates got to offer this time? Download here to find out: http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...sp1_en_x86.exe
It's 133MB

Thanks for the update. I will have to check this out.

after w2k sp3, iunno bout this......

it is collection of various updates available round the year as well some enhancement packed in single package . so u don't need unless u have regularly updated ur software . instead use catchup(cnet.com)or something similar to get required updates only :-)

I heard somewhere that SP1 was going to contain JAVA support but only to be taken out in SP2. Is this true? And if so why is that?

I downloaded sp1....I rebooted....then I got a error message "your messing something.dll"...so I just reformated and reinstalled windows. It wasn't on my main computer so it was ok. But has anyone heard of a error coused by installing sp1 like this? If so is there a work around?

sorry not to give more info on the problem but I didn't write down the message.

dev_ocean: XP SP1 contains much more than just the simple patches and security update which Microsoft has released over time. They have re-written a great deal of the code, added support for more hardware, fixed inherent problems which could not be resolved with patches, and updated the overall stability of the OS.
