section: windows, for your questions: KezNews forum, 24.10.2008
Tip: Click here to update all your PC's outdated driversMicrosoft has released an early beta build of Vista SP2 to testers according to those familiar with the beta program.
In a posting to The Hotfix forums, members have claimed that Microsoft have released a batch file which enables the SP2 download from Windows Update. The download weighs in at over 290MB and references the support article placeholder put online 2 weeks ago.
Microsoft recently wrote to potential testers to offer them the SP2 build within 4 weeks and it appears the company may have released this earlier than expected.
It's expected that SP2 will include Windows Search 4, along with Bluetooth wireless support (including latest BT 2.1 fixes), support for the new VIA 64-bit CPU and additional application compatibility updates.
Early feedback from testers noted "Vista feels faster now!" and "it feels good so far...stable and all".
Update: This build is not currently released broadly to all testers and may have leaked out from a small set of testers or internally from Microsoft.
Update 2: According to a Microsoft source, the package on Windows Update today are pre-beta bits, not the actual beta that has undergone more testing. It was added to ensure the windows update process was setup correctly.

does anyone have a patch to remove the watermark on desktop?
launch regedit.
navigate to this key:
hkey_current_user\control panel\desktop
scroll down and find the existing entry called paintdesktopversion. double click and
change its value to numeric one. please note that there is no need to create this dword,
as it's already there.
check you now see: paintdesktopversion = 1
the default
is paintdesktopversion = 0 meaning do not display the build number. incidentally, this
dword is also found in xp and windows server 2003.

and just try it.
i can not belief it people.. are you all beta testers.. wait a month and you have the

as a matter of fact, yes i am a microsoft beta tester, and have been for about 8 years
now.
the pre-beta of sp2 is extremely stable, compatible with all of the programs on
my computer, and it actually did speed my computer up.
hey is this beta uninstallable, does it have a time limit?
i haven't looked yet, but from what i have heard, it is uninstallable.
it does have
an expiration date of 4/1/2010, but there should be a good beta or even the actual release
by then.
