Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 on Compaq Evo Notebooks

3

Introduction

For years, Compaq has remained committed to supporting our customer’s operating system needs. As new operating systems and service packs are introduced, Compaq engineering teams perform testing to verify compatibility on Compaq products. This allows our customers the pick the operating system and service pack which best suits their computing environment.

Compaq is committed to maintaining stability and consistency across commercial product lines. Since SP1 is not a required upgrade, Compaq recommends that each customer review the SP1 documentation and decide whether to deploy SP1 based on individual company needs. Compaq is dedicated to providing customers who may choose to deploy SP1 with a smooth transition by ensuring that SP1 is tested across a variety of configurations for the Evo notebook systems.

This white paper provides a list of tested products and, where applicable, known anomalies when using SP1.
