Loading ...If you are running Windows 2000 you’ll be happy to know that SP3 will be ready tomorrow! This service pack has been more than a year in the making and follows the release of SP2 in May 2001. A service pack is essentially a collection of all the bug fixes and other security issues that have been released or been worked on since the product hit the shelves.
The service pack will be available for public download Thursday from this web page.
Microsoft has included a new configuration pane in SP3 called Configure Programs as a result of its antitrust settlement with the Department of Justice and nine states. Users will now be given the option to override Microsoft defaults and select a custom Web browser, e-mail client, media player, instant messenger, and Java virtual machine. The pane will also feature an option to hide integrated Windows components such as Internet Explorer or Windows Media Player. [Comment on this Post]
