Microsoft 偽SP3に対する警告文。

先日お知らせしたWindows XP SP3のプレビュー版ですが、それに対してMicrosoftが警告しています。

簡単に訳すと、正式版でないので保証はしないということと、Microsoftが提供しているWindows UpdateとMicrosoftのダウンロードサイトを利用して下さいって言ってます。

まぁ偽SP3もWindows Updateの寄せ集めなんで問題ないように思うのだが…。
しかし、英語版なので日本語版にはインストールはしない方が良いと思いますよ。

何かあっても自己責任ですね。

You would be well advised to stay clear of this FAKE SP3 package.
It is NOT suitable for testing as it is NOT SP3.

If is just a collection of hotfixes and other updates we have released. It will not update your Windows XP system to SP3
It also contains a number of private " hotfixes that are usually only issued to users with a specific identifiable problem. The hotfixes are not as rigorously tested at public released ones this is why we ask you to call PSS to get them so we can track you and provide further assistance such as new versions of the fixes etc as they become available. Just installing all the "privates" on your PC may make you machine LESS stable and will also put you out of support from Microsoft or an OEM as you are installing incorrectly issued private hotfixes.

Frankly this "package" should be avoid and you should continue to use
Windows Update and the download site to get the most up-to-date and correctly issued Microsoft fixes and patches.

Anyone who installs this thinking they are getting SP3 (even as a preview)
is being grossly mislead and is posing a significant potentially non
recoverable risk to their PC and data.
