I think it came w/SP1 and was a download before that. I think it's still a download, but it is installed and in the process of configuring now.
fyi: It is always 32-bit which is exactly what I wanted, so I'm looking good.
Windows XP Mode is a horrible VM. It may work for me, but it is extremely slow and it hasn't been able to run more than a few hours at a time without crashing.
And all I'm doing so far is trying to get the security patches installed.
That is unfortunate. The few times I tried it I had no problems, but I didn't try to install all of the cumulative security patches that were issued for XP after SP3 came out. Given how some of those same patches entirely hosed Win7, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that XP wouldn't come through unscathed. The worst "restore"[sic], I had to do was after a Win7 update last August that left my machine unbootable. No sys restore, and no backups working at the time and couldn't run update because that only runs from a working system. System restore failed twice in a row, but after 2nd restore, system booted but with no aero desktop. Then system upgrade failed near the end, and rolled back the upgrade. So I upgraded it again and prevented the upgrade ... bunch more steps tto get back to working... so .. MS updates... a mixed blessing. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
