CNET First Take: Windows XP Service Pack 1
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft handed out details about its upcoming Windows XP Service Pack 1 this week, and the free download will apparently show the first signs of the company's antitrust settlement with the Justice Department. The service pack, available publicly as a release candidate this summer and completed later this year, won't contain many other surprises, according to Microsoft. Expect a bevy of security updates, many of which will already be available courtesy of Windows Update. Microsoft promises an updated version of the XP messenger client, Windows Messenger, with improved security, along with support for Mira, Freestyle, and the upcoming Tablet PC.
