ok, i dont know what you guys have done when installing xpsp2 but their is nothing wrong with it! i have gone through rc1 and rc2 - sure rc2 wasnt stable but its a beta
its not supposed to be! i have installed xpsp2 on all my machines - the full package 272mg and
it works fine! no out of focus windows blah blah and any other crap quite frankly if your dumb enough to install sp2 without thinking what
you might break then it is your fault!! - ie uninstall any firewall software before installing sp2 its time to stop bitching about sp2 and get it working - its going to save the IT industry time and money by stopping worms and buffer
overruns etc.
m$ have actually got this one right!
It's great that it works for your one configuration, but there are thousands of other configurations out there. For some, it is not working, even when they read the documentation. The world is not just you and your PC. -Eric ***************** ***************** I'd be far less kind in responding Eric. I'd say, "So you with your 'all my machines' had no problems and the rest of the planet are whingers?" Well aren't you clever! Do you want some lollies to celebrate? Thanks for that suggestion about uninstalling any firewall too. That should fix everyone's' problems with sp2! But I suppose, if it made Mr Eoannidis feel that good that he had to post some bait, I'll bite and make him feel even better because he got a response. Cheers, B P.S. FWIW my home system had no problems with sp2 either. We're still doing thorough testing before deploying in a professional environment though, for obvious reasons. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
