About 1am for most of us, wasn't it, Gary?

I think it was, no wonder I feel tired today

I've given up sleep for Lent - next year...

[Gary]

I've given up sleep for Lent - next year...

[cavillas]

I'm gonna give up lent for sleep myself.

[Rik]

That's a much better option, Alf.

I wonder if SP2 is just all the patches to date, or whether anything else has changed.

[Rik]

Yes or maybe.

[Rik]

Which probably explains the size of the patch.

[Sebby]

Indeed.

I just noticed on The Register that Vista SP2 has RTM'd.

[Rik]

Now I am excited.

[Ray]

Well my Outlook 2007 seems to start up a lot quicker than it did before the update.  

[Sebby]

Now I am excited.

You won't believe this, but a prerequisite is that SP1 is installed. One user on The Register has commented:

Good to see Microsoft moving backwards with technology.

No slipstreaming, non-cumulative service packs....

I'm sorry, I thought this was 2009, not 1989.

[Ray]

Now I am excited.

Now, now, Rik, calm down it's bad for your BP.  

[Rik]

My BP only reaches 120/70 when I get excited, Ray, the rest of the time it's nearer 100/50.

[Glenn]

Mine is normally at 128/76

[Rik]

Perfectly healthy, Glenn. I'm on the low side.

what they put in it 

RTM'd ?

[Rik]

Released to manufacture - when the code starts to get put on DVDs, Baz.

[Baz]

Ah right
