Microsoft won't ship WinFS with Longhorn

Read about this recently. Read more here http://www.computerworld.com/softwaretopics/os/story/0,10801,95538,00.html?nas=PM-95538.

But WinFS will be available with the client version of LongHorn when it is released. I suppose keeping the deliverables to the limit, we would get some real working, secure and robust components of LongHorn. Over promising with the deliverables would cause lots of features but with lots of compatibility issues and BUGS!

Information on LongHorn here -- > http://msdn.microsoft.com/Longhorn/understanding/

SP2 Deployment Updates

Greetings folks,

I know there are lots of stuff out there on SP2, so I am not going to be talking about SP2 and it's many benefits.


How to install Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) by using Systems Management Server -

Deploying Windows XP Service Pack 2 using Software Update Services -

Previously there were no detailed steps on these two and if there was, it was on the Beta/RC version of SP2.

Cheers
