Nope, mine is still as minimal as before. Only difference I've noticed is that it says "Service Pack 3" in the system properties.Sparkfist wrote:Does it force any graphical enhancements on you? 'Cause I run Windows pretty minimal as far as aesthetics are considered.

Pff, I'm still running Service Pack 1a!
I think SP3 just has the entire collection of security patches up to this point, and includes support for some new Vista networking stuff.
They didn't throw WGA in as well, did they?
Yes, my copy of XP is legit. The problem is that the repair shop I used to work for and got the install disc from had a volume system builder's license, and somewhere along the line Microsoft put the wrong number into their system and flagged that product key. They got a new license gratis, but the original disc is what was installed on this machine.

Um, so, you can still download it from other sites. They just don't have it on the automatic updates.nightwheel wrote:I quote my self again. They have delayed SP3nightwheel wrote:um this is odd: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/security ... v=rss_blog

Just thought I would say that I'm using Rocket dock which makes it look pretty, the taskbar is changed to silver in display, Different and bigger icons, no themes going on here and I try to keep my desktop as tidy as possible.
And it was posted on engadget that it was delayed, but as said It hasn't been released publicly yet, It was meant to be released on the 28th or 29th I think.

I recall reading that it will come through Automatic Updates for most people early this summer. I'm just impatient and I wanted to see if there really was a speed increase that I'd notice. Plus extra security patches and stuff are just fine with me.
