And when MS drops support for Win2K Server? :P This looks like a job for A: A Super Hacker to "rip" SFM from 2K Server. or B: A class action lawsuit against MS for their "bait and switch" tactic of including SFM in the Win XP documentation but not shipping it with Win XP. Microsoft has had plenty of time to remove all references to SFM in XP from their websites, especially TechNet and they also could have updated the Help files with Win XP Service Pack 1* to remove the SFM info. Therefore, since there is current info on the TechNet website AND in the latest Windows XP Help files that says Services For Macintosh _is_ included, Microsoft ought to be made to provide it just like they have been forced into compliance with their Java license from Sun Microsystems. Plenty of companies making all sorts of stuff have found themselves on the sharp end of the legal stick by releasing documentation with their products describing features that don't exist. Time for it to happen to Microsoft! *Win XP SP1a is identical to SP1 with the exception of the removal of Microsoft Java. An update including Sun Java will be available later. If you've already applied SP1, you do NOT need to apply SP1a. You already have Microsoft Java. You can download Sun Java at the Sun website. Computers shipping with XP SP1 already installed _do not_ have any Java support out of the box. Here's an excellent site. http://winxp.bink.nu ===== Subatomic conspiracy group: The Free Mesons.
