On Thursday March 22nd Microsoft published their List of updates that have been applied to the recently released Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2. There are a number of significant and important updates included as well as some such as font updates that seem to me to merely occupy space. However somewhere out there someone along the line pointed out that “Some characters from End User Defined Character (EUDC) fonts do not appear correctly in Windows XP” and the fix was incorporated.
It is interesting to note in looking at the supported platforms below that Windows XP Professional x64 Edition is also supported. Is Microsoft going to make this the rule going forward that Service packs for Windows XP Professional x64 will be applied via the Windows 2003 server service packs rather than the XP service packs or is this just a one time event but I digress so I will cease?
Supported Platforms:
Windows Server 2003 All Editions (32-bit x86)
Windows Server 2003 Itanium-based Editions
Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions
Windows Server 2003 R2 Editions
Windows Server 2003 Storage Server R2 Edition
Windows Server 2003 Compute Cluster Edition
Windows Server 2003 for Small Business Servers R2 Edition
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
