XP Ultimate?

Postby imchief » Thu Dec 24, 2009 10:53 am

Has anyone been using XP ultimate with FS9?  My copy of XP is old and only has service pack 1.  It would be nice to have a version with all servicepacks included.

I have never heard it called XP "Ultimate before" but I use XP Pro 64bit with SP2. You can find XP with SP3 that includes fixes from previous packs. Personally I like SP2. ;)

It would be interesting to know how he got around all of the licensing issues.

As for the legality he says use your current license from your XP.  There seem to be alot of people using it but not heard anyone here on SimV.  I would just like to have SP1 and 2 on a disk.  Plus didn't MS take those SP off thier website?

You should be able to download and install the updates, including Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 3, using Windows Update.


Open this URL with Internet Explorer.
www.windowsupdate.com
and follow the prompts.

As far as Windows XP Ultimate... it's not much more than a skin over normal Windows XP and has nothing to do with Vista, 7 or Linux. I wouldn't bother.
