Mark Minasi's Windows XP Service Pack 2 Presentation

(Updated!  15 new slides posted 2 November 2004.)

SP2's confusing, and don't I know it!  I spent over a week poring over the more than thousand pages that Microsoft has on SP2 and there's a lot there.  I've been asked by a number of large organizations to explain the goods and bads of SP2, so I put together a PowerPoint on it.  But I thought that my readers could benefit from it as well, so I'm offering it as a free download.

But I have a request, please.

Presentations like this are how I make my living.  I feel that this is an important enough change in our world -- the Windows world -- that I want people to implement this, so I'm offering the PPT to anyone who wants it.  But please understand that this is my property and I so in giving it away I ask just two things:

• First, don't change it.  Hey, there's the chance that someone will see it and want to hire me to present it.  Anyone who removes my name, copyrights or the like not only steals my work but also steals whatever possible marketing value this offers.  (I mean, you do want me to do the same kind of analysis for Server 2003's SP1, right?<g>)
• Second, hand it out to anyone that you like.  All I ask is that you credit me for its authorship.

I hope this is useful.  I would love to hear your feedback on this.  I'm at help@minasi.com.  If you're not already receiving my free services then you might consider subscribing to my free tech newsletter at

Thanks.  And if you like the PPT, then please consider hiring me to present it for your organization.  Contact us at assistant@minasi.com for rates and schedule.  Thanks again!
