Omg it is. I love it! The 3d effects are Wonderful on XP!
Microsoft shold come out with a MSN or Windows messenger with a wonderful 3d effect! It is so clean and the visual style with it is professional too!

Windows XP 64bit edition is NOT a good option for a home machine or your primary workstation and ONLY recommended for developers looking to develop on the 64bit CPU. The drivers are NOT in place and it is NOT consumer ready.

Oh, I guess then I haven't been using it for a few months now without any trouble. I must've dreamt that.

Also, I bet it could run on XP x64, and that it's just lousy version detection code.

SP2 is one of the hard facts of life these days.  Sucks when it kills your current install, but really every xp machine ought to have it.

"WinFX Runtime Components 3.0 Beta 2" takes for-freaking-ever to install. It's been stuck like this for a while:


"An error occured during install; the installation files have been removed from your computer. Would you like to send a bug report?

<Yes> <No>"

You probably have another .NET 2.0 beta installed on the machine... I'm now removing VS2005 CTP, installing MAX, and then installing the VS2005 RC to verify this...
I have beta 2 and I could install perfectly.

The confirmation email I got has a link that is formatted poorly and doesn't work until you cut & paste the second non-underlined line.

Devil's in the details.
