Support for Windows XP SP2 ends next July

Why would anyone not have SP3? I mean aren't we almost up to SP4? (omg)

 

Already on it! Thank you.

 

Right?

But I do cherish XP and the famous aphorism comes up: 'If it ain't broke, OK, patch it when necessary....but do not kick it to the curb or stop supporting it. "

OK, maybe I took liberties with that a little.

But, WAIT! this thread just raised a new question for me: Let us say I have 3 systems running XP.....cause I do. Let us say I need to do a clean install in one---some people do those every few months, I would rather eat worms---and the restore disk is XP Pro or Home, SP2. Ahah!

Now what would that mean???????

Nobody say slipstream, please.

Whew. I should have guessed that logically. But I didn't. But all's well that end's well.
