Will be interested in hearing what you think after you play a bit..:D
The network install probably checks your locale and gives you the one you need.
Just a guess though.
"Windows XP SP3 is for x86 editions of Windows XP only. The x64 editions of Windows XP were serviced by Windows Server 2003 SP2."

ps..just read the thingy.. pretty much nothing it seems so why bother..
saves so much time having an sp3 cd to install xp if needed,
its not as if they can make xp any faster, that requires new hardware for that.
Unless the has been some major additions then only thing this will be worthwile for is slipstreaming.
I'm confused as to why everyone is "all a'twitter" about this? DX10 ain't gonna be in it! On the positive it at least creates the illusion that M$ will be supporting this OS for a while longer....
