XP SP1: d/l or CD?
by Josh » Mon 02 Sep, 2002 3:58 am
When XP SP1 is released, should I download it or get a CD?

Well me personally, I am just going to download it. Start it some night before I go to bed and let it knock itself out downloading. Thought I have absolutely no idea how large of a download it is. Kind of hoping it is less than 50-60Meg since I am on a 28.8K connection, but with my luck it'll be around 120Meg

Ask a friend to download it for you

Just ask a friend who's got broadband to download it and burn into CD for sharing.
OR wait for next month's computer magazine's cover CD.

Download it.
As for being on 28.8k, I can most certainly sympathise, since I'm also on 28.8k...

I mightn't have to download /that/, but OpenOffice 1.0.1 + Netscape 7.0 is a similar size. I'm talking about the amount of data, not what the data is

You should ask your friends to help you download that.
Last time, I downloaded Solaris 8 (for x86) (2.5CDs) in about 80mins.
