No mention of SP2 crisis?
[edit]How is there no mention of Microsoft going into crisis-mode becasue of all the critical bugs and vulnerabilities in XP causing a PR nightmare, and putting all other projects on hold until they could release SP2 with its massive changes, and even mailed out SP2 CDs for free instead of charging a shipping fee like they normally did? I’d add that myself, but I can’t be arsed to track down sources. I’m just surprised this huge event in XP’s history isn’t mentioned. 🤨 Synetech (talk) 13:46, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
Add color requirements
[edit]In the "System requirements" table, change all three of "Super VGA (800 × 600) or over" to "800 x 600 with 16-bit color", and change all three of "1024 x 768 or over" to "1024 x 768 with 32-bit color". 172.59.190.90 (talk) 12:09, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
References 159 to 164 are the same
[edit]Can an admin fix it? HgO! --- Notify me 17:18, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

[edit]At the top of the page the article says that Windows Neptune was based off of the MSDOS based Windows 98 but it’s actually based off of Windows ME which is based off of Windows NT }} Witherstorm666666 (talk) 04:42, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
