What's the difference between this one and the one that was released sometime last month..?

I had it on my pc before my windows HDD died on me
▼
eVo 6 May 2008, 23:08
that was a release candidate, a little bit better than a beta, not the full product
Parent
▼
Panda 6 May 2008, 23:13
mmkay. I'll grab an ISO or whatever I can get my hands on later so when I finally manage to fix my dead HDD I can install it straight on :>

Yes you will probably not understand anything since it swedish but aparently the english version has been available since the end of april ^^. But you are right, it's basically sp3 but not the full product since there was a little problem of some kind, but only with "Dynamics Retail Management System".

It was meant to be released some days ago, but was pushed back due to some bug breaking an ms app.

will it work on my illegal version? xp pro 64bit or will it auto install that genuine stuff with it?
▼
h1tmAn 7 May 2008, 00:17
well unless its been activated i dont think it will install but most illegal copys can make it a 100% legal copy even though its illegal o.0

Old news!

eVo 6 May 2008, 23:27
hmm dunno about performance increases, i suspect thats only because it doesn't overwrite one fix with another, just done a clean install of XP SP2 and then SP3, still had another 85MB of possible downloads from microsoft to add in. It doesn't slipstream IE7 or media player 11 into the service pack which is kind of disappointing since microsoft claims IE7 is a "high priority" update and i suspected that they would release the full version of IE8 with this SP but not to be it seems

Ney 6 May 2008, 23:53
100% Agree!

xedos 7 May 2008, 00:22
