These days the technology is changing very rapidly and with in a short span of time we have to update with the new patches ans supplement for several software, though these are always in the favor of the end user but most of the time we just don’t want to implement these latest changes. Like me, I wanted to install Microsoft Visual studio 2010, which requires windows SP3 installed to run it but I just don’t want to do so. So should i left it or there are any alternatives… Yes I have found one… And it is described below:
