Oh sure it does, if you enjoy hauling around several dozen CD's to do your work, and constantly shuffling those buggers into and out of the drive makes sense if you're getting paid by the hour, especially when one of them may be dependant on several of the others. Again, fuggin' brilliant.
From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 22 Mar 2010 13:58 Yes, but you won't be able to use Windows Update (or Automatic Updates) unless & until SP3 is installed. Note: Extended Support for WinXP (x86) SP2 ends on 13 July 2010. After that date, computers running WinXP (x86) SP2 will NOT be offered any further critical security updates, Automatic Updates will not work, and Windows Update website will not be accessible until SP3 is installed.

Then again, using that analogy, one should put several installers on one CD (Greg's idea) and make at least one copy of that CD (your idea). |
