Get It First From Here

GetItFirstFromHere is a page on temporary setups for computing related information of interest to a large segment of the WardsWiki community.

Actually, it just looks like a personal blog, to me. WikiIsNotYourBlog. Perhaps you'd like to check out http://del.icio.us/

It would seem to make more sense to put information relating to any given piece of software on its own page on this wiki.

Prior to 06Oct05, I predict next MS patch link to be found at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-oct.mspx :)

advance warning for the contents can be seen at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/advance.mspx

Get Microsoft WindowsXp SP2 via site listed in http://p2pnet.net/story/2118

12Aug04 Will merge with WindowsXp page by end Aug04

Windows XP Service Pack 2 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers is the title of the MS site listed above.

Be warned of possible compatibility problems with older (and some newer) software

suitable for new PC with latest (almost) version of windows, and for people to plan to install new software onto it afterwards -- dl
eDonkey P2P file sharing mechanism is advocated to be used by above article to complete download of SP2 even if MS decides to unplug the SP2 offering (watch out for security exposure introduced thru use of a P2P mechanism first.)
Best alternative for most users of WindowsXp is to wait out until SP2 behaviour is fully known. MS has posted a blocking tool that would stop SP2 downloads while still getting critical XP fixes.

I am personally treating SP2 as a very important OS upgrade (not update) but treat the SP2 release as a large public beta -- dl
