Dear City of London Police,
I see that we still have not had a response to this request for information. Please can you provide the answers that we seek, or suggest alternative routes to go down. If we are to be arrested without good reason, we would like to know how best to respond to the incorrect assumptions made by the police.
Regards
Kyle

Looks like someone has taken design classes from Apple, and failed. It is, however, still rather dinky and shiny. Now, if only Vodafone would activate them before they send them out to us, like they used to.

Sadly, some of us have to test these things before they go public. At work, WSUS will hold it back until I approve it for deployment. Whether I choose to let it loose to one machine, or 700, depends on how well it passes testing.
For those of you in a similar situation, modifying the registry with the following command will enable download of XP SP3 from Microsoft Update
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\XPSP3 /v RCPreview /t REG_SZ /d 1c667073-b87f-4f52-a479-98c85711d869 /f
If you wish to reinstate your machine to a previous state of update eligibility, use the following registry command
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\XPSP3 /f
Those of you running Vista SP1 will already be aware of a similar hack, and it shows an increasing trend by Microsoft of using their update mechanism to deliver betas and RCs ahead of a full deployment. In the long run, it makes it nice and easy to prep a machine for testing.

It had to be done 
KDE4 on Windows, in VMWare on Linux…

A free cooker to the first taker. It’s all in nice working order, has been kept mostly clean by Charlotte, and has loyally prevented us from starving on many an occasion.
