For anyone on the various beta-test cycles, it was a galling experience to see new builds of XP 圆4 and Server 2003 SP 1 simply dry up for most of 2004. And then the whole, formidable Microsoft machinery went into a deathmarch to get it shipped.Īs a result, a number of important releases got pushed to the back burners for many months – not just 64-bit Windows XP, but the 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2003, and the Server 2003 SP 1 release as well. The test teams were flat out doing all the testing, the coders were nailing down bugs in the code, and the marketing department went into overdrive.
Getting such a monster upgrade/bug fix out of the door consumed all resources. It can all be blamed on XP Service Pack 2.
