Has anybody else spotted the bug in Vista Windows Mail which appears to move
all the words around in newsgroup messages?

...anyone feel like a smarmy response involving Service Packs?

Nah, too tired. Going to bed... goodnight all :o)

SE was not an update for Windows 98.
Windows 98 SE was a new version of Windows 98
If you wanted Windows 98 SE, then you had to buy it unlike Service Packs
which are free.
There is no Service Pack for Windows 98 IIRC.

As for when the final version of Vista will be released, see the other posts
in this thread.

There was not SP1 for Windows 98, but there was a service update that
basically gave Windows 98 First Edition users all the technologies that were
in Windows 98 SE for about $20 on CD or free download.

I think you're right Grok - although I haven't found anything directly from
Microsoft, Paul Thurrott wrote about the differences between 98 SE and 98
SP1.

Actually I've just found this, loose but still applies:

[url]http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/[/url]

Get the latest updates to Windows 98
If you are running Windows 98 Second Edition you do not need Customer
Service Pack -- all of the updates in the Customer Service Pack are included
on your system. Windows 98 Customer Service Pack updates Windows 98 to keep
your system in top shape. Download the Service Pack from Windows Update or
order by calling 800-360-7561 (U.S. only).

ICS was one of the differences maintained between Windows 98 and Windows 98
SE since ICS was not included.
In spite of what the articles say, there was no Service Pack 1 for Windows
98.
I just double checked the Windows Update Catalog.
I also performed a Clean Installation of Windows 98.
I then installed all updates from Windows Update.
Rebooted and installed more updates until there were no more updates
available.
SP-1 was never listed.
Service Pack is not listed in "winver" or Properties.
Finally I looked in Add/Remove Programs, Service Pack was not listed in any
of the tabs or categories.
There were Service Packs for Outlook Express and Internet Explorer, but
those are not the same as a Service Pack for Windows.

The CD that was sold for about $5 was not actually a Service Pack.
It was a compilation of most of the updates to come out between Windows 98
and Windows 98 SE.
The CD did not include ICS the major difference between Windows 98 and
Windows 98 SE.
Everything on the CD was freely downloadable.

The other CD sold for about $20 - $30 actually upgraded Windows 98 to
Windows 98 SE, it was only available for Windows 98 systems and would not
upgrade Windows 95 or other early OSs.
This was an upgrade and not a Service Pack.

If there was a Service Pack 1 for Windows 98, it would still be available as
a Critical Update along with the other Critical Updates.

[Peter Foldes]

For Windows 98 SE there was never a Service Pack

For Windows 98 there was a Service Release 1 that came out after Win 98 SE released NOT a Service Pack..

Service Release and Service Pack and Win 98 and Win98 SE are different

I have the Service RELEASE 1 as it was called for Win 98 not for Win 98 SE right here in front of me.

Are you sure it is not a Service Release?
Now that Peter mentions it, I remember Service Release.
As Peter says, they are not the same.

Install Windows 98.
Then install that CD.
Does winver or Properties show a Service Pack?
If it is indeed a Service Pack, you will see it stated.

The Service Release was pretty much the same as Windows XP SP-2 Rollup 1.
A compilation of updates but not a Service Pack.

If it is actually a Service Pack, it will also be in the Critical Updates.

Made easier by a spare computer, a few caddies for hard drives and other
available resources.

Does it show Service Pack 1 in Properties or winver when installed?
That is where the truth is told.
