Windows 2000 Service Pack 1

[tylau 0]

If this is not called a beta, I would label it as the most unicivilised patching exercises since slice bread. consider the full install takes about 300MB, a service "rewrite" weight in 200MB, simlpy a waste of the already congested web bandwidth.

O.K Alex thank you for the link! It was excactly what I was after

 

tylau,

 

Are you talking about the service pack 1 patch? It will around 62MB size when it is done, for you to download.

 

The service pack beta available for msdn members contain the update file and a folder with all files loose I belive

I seems to have problem accessing msdn.microsoft.com download centre.

 

I have entered my Microsoft Online ID. But it just doesn't let me in. Reload the page again for me.

 

Now what should I do?

Are you legitimately an MSDN member? Just because you have an MS Online ID does not give you access to MSDN.

 

The approximate charge for MSDN is US $2500 for the first year, and $2000 for each renewal year. There is another level down, which does not offer as many developer components, and that is $800 or so.

 

tylau: if you missed my previous comments, the service pack is 60MB for the full version. MSDN members are downloading a CD image, hence the large size.

F.Y.I. The utility TClock (http://homepage1.nifty.com/kazubon/) can also be used to make the taskbar buttons flat AND make the taskbar transparent! Very coolt.

Thanks a lot for that link, nMan.

 

The other taskbarmanager was shareware, but this is freeware. Very nice!

Any of you think about using its slipstream ability to patch a win2k install? I think that would be interesting.
