As I was like always surfing around and trying to test everything → which mostly result in crashing 88) I found this one : Wesmosis’ Windows XP Pre-SP3 (the Intelligent Windows) v2.5
I was wondering, is this a safe one or are there like always leaks in it build so they can easely acces your pc ?
I agree with LA, you’ll never know what it contains.
Also the avaliable SP3 is for beta testers only right now, some people leaked it on torrent sites.
Better wait for real one, it’s said to be released first half of 2008.
It’s already dangerous to stick with MS, but to get a pre-patch of SP3 and from a 3rd party site even - :o :o :o :o
Even if MS releases SP3, I would personally wait for some months afterwards to let others test it. I did the same with SP2 (waited for over a year, much longer than I should’ve, but it’s safer).
It is not recommended you use service packs from sources other then MS as they could have been tampered with or it could just have tons of patches/updates you already have being completely useless.
I recommend only getting your updates from MS as this way it is less likely (but still possible) that your system will not be harmed.
