Nun steht auch für die Nicht Betatester der finale Download des SP2´s für WindowsXP zur Verfügung. Der Download ist bisher schnell, kann sich aber natürlich ändern; Microsoft hat aber bestimmt auf die Useranstürme von vornherein reagiert.

Ich habe eben den Tweak Guide Artikel upgedatet und einen Tweak geaddet der bis zu 40% mehr Leistung auf ATI Karten bewirken soll. Ihr findet den Tweak am Ende des Artikels 🙂

Microsoft hat das SP2 für Windows XP endlich fertiggestellt. Nachdem man es am Montag noch kurzfristig verschoben hatte, ist es seit heute auf Betaplace für Betatester schon verfügbar. Alle anderen müssen sich bis nächste Woche gedulden, dann wird es nämlich auch im Microsoft Download Center verfügbar sein. Ob dann Windows XP wirklich sicherer ist? Wir werdens sehen, der erste Schritt ist aber zumindest damit dann gemacht.

Die deutsche XP SP2 Seite findet Ihr hier . Dort ist auch ein Funktionschangelog verfügbar, recht groß :); Direktlink

Gestern Nacht wurde PHP 4.3.6 released. Neue Features wirds für die 4er Version nicht mehr geben sondern nur noch Bugfixes. Das Changelog findet Ihr im Klapptext !
