Three things need clarifying.

Firstly, will the mid summer version be smaller than the size of Build 2098?

Secondly, will it overwrite previous software of XP-SP1, as Graham Lee pointed out.

Thirdly, will it be dispalyed in the current version of Windows Update.

If all those three questions elicit the relevant answers, it looks like -baring the real headache caused by the auto activation of the Firewall- it will be a real improvement.

I for one would appreciate a prompt response to these questions, which is why I have supplied an email address.
