| Last MSDN Subscriptions To Include XP? I renew my MSDN subscription every couple of years instead of annually. I'd like to catch the last go-around that includes XP. Is this something imminent? Or will it be a few more years before they drop XP on the MSDN disks? -- PeteCresswell      |

| Re: Last MSDN Subscriptions To Include XP? Pete; Imminent, sure, but when, that is the question only Microsoft knows the answer. Windows XP SP-3 is currently planned for 2008, so my guess is well after SP-3 is released. Since Windows XP does not change except for the Service Packs, there is no real need to get a Windows XP published on a later DVD while an earlier one will be identical. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "(PeteCresswell)" <x@y.Invalid> wrote in message news:880al2trhnfk5h74cl150hukucalf0m9pa@4ax.com... >I renew my MSDN subscription every couple of years instead of annually. > > I'd like to catch the last go-around that includes XP. > > Is this something imminent?

| Re: Last MSDN Subscriptions To Include XP? To Richard also: Doesn't make sense, so you needlessly added the exception. Nothing is identical with exceptions. Mentioned was SP3, and of course SP2 disk is the same as an SP2 disk, but that isn't what you said. You said,"there is no real need to get a Windows XP published on a later DVD while an earlier one will be identical." If you're going to say that you meant SP2 later and SP2 earlier, then you should have left out "exception" and SP3 should have come into play.

| Re: Last MSDN Subscriptions To Include XP? If you do not like exceptions, that is OK with me. If I had left out that exception, probably many others would have posted back explaining there are differences in Windows XP Gold vs. Windows XP with the various Service Packs. The fact is several different CDs are available and I included that as a necessary exception. If I wrote the sentence the way you misquoted me, it would be wrong. But you changed the meaning of what I wrote by your selective quoting. I wrote it the way I wrote since confusing one individual such as yourself is far preferable to the possibility of confusing or misleading everyone else. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "Tom" <noway@nothere.com> wrote in message news:uBuIPvTBHHA.2304@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > To Richard also: > Doesn't make sense, so you needlessly added the exception.
