Windows "It's no secret that there's a leaked beta of Vista SP1 floating around, but no-one yet has really taken the time to analyse it in detail to find out what it really does. I made it my mission this weekend to trawl through the registry and file changes in SP1 to find out as best I could exactly what SP1 does." Apparantly, it isn't just Vista SP1 that got leaked - Windows XP SP3 has also been leaked.

It might be interesting on a technical level, but I'm worried that people will look at these and get excited over a feature that's better off delayed, or dismiss it because of a feature that's not yet included...

Nice that they're bringing recovery discs back. And curious that they're making bugfixes just to run with faulty hardware (KB938979 and the Canon EOS 1D series) -- I thought that they had decided to stop doing that to force hardware developers to get their testing done right the first time?

And changes to the Telnet client? Man, that hasn't been updated since Windows 3.1. I still remember years playing around in MUDs and MUCKs with that tiny but sufficient piece of software...
