Ted,
It was definitely English.. and I understood each word of it - but as a
whole, I didn't comprehend a cohesive meaning.
David,
My guess is that you are asking for a Service Pack 3 for Windows XP. If
that is correct, and I will assume it is for now, then you must know that
the basis for it started the month after SP2 was released. Service Packs
are usually just a culmination of patches and fixes - most of which were
released individually to the public in ther interim between service packs...
So once the first post-SP2 patch was released, SP3 was already in the works.
Now, I am also assuming you are asking Microsoft to include GAMES in their
next service pack. I do NOT see this happening - particularly with the
games you mentioned. You also mentioned adding other utilities and things
like a basic checkbook software, etc. In my opinion this is a BAD idea. An
OS should remain just that - an Operating System. Let everyone else come up
with the applications to run on top of it. It seems hard enough to have a
base system that is stable and remains secured and stable for any period of
time without adding on additional buggy features.
In any case, your Service Pack 3 request is premature. Even if you somehow
just convinced the highest in Microsoft's ranks to start on it now, I would
not expect it until late 2005/mid 2006 - by which time talks of Longhorn
will be rampant and your Service Pack 3 will be on the back burner.
