He must do. MS just don't seem to DO different minor revisions of their NT OS's.

NT4, 2k and ME - none have a 'B' or 'SE' edition. So no, I don't think an XP SE is on the cards either.

A service pack would be good if they managed to crunch all of the current critical updates into one download though :).

service pack 1 for WinXP has been in development a long time.. it's release is being held up by the anti-trust trials that Microsoft is currently facing... SP1 is supposedly going to include the required changes as mandated by the courts..

eg: more flexibility in the setting the default for internet browser, email client, media player... ability to hide (not remove unfortunately) the crappy MS appz.

Yor England practise needing :p

But from what I think you're saying, it's a service pack, NOT a new version. It'll be released similarily to Windows 2000's service packs - so it'll be downloadable off MS's site. And no, you won't have to pay for it. Though you'll still have to pay for XP in the first place.... ;)

All versions of XP that go to retail after SP1 is released will have it incorporated, you'll be able to tell by a sticker or something on the box.

I'd expect (but dont count on it) there to be a way you could order the Service Pack on a CD also though it may not be available immediately after the download is made available.

I'll burn it onto CD and deliver it to you (and anyone else) for $10. Sounds like a worthwhile enterprise ;).
