Darren,
Windows XP SP2 has got to be up there with Windows NT 4.0 service pack 2 in terms of crap updates, possibly even worse. Maybe M$ are trying to push everyone away from Windows ?
Wow! MS goes about doing what the security folks have been harping on for years...providing a modicum of security in their operating system...and now it's a "crap update"? Protection against buffer overflows, the firewall on by default, etc...what we've been asking for and harping on...and you come back with "crap updates"?!? Someone goes out and blindly installs SP2 on their system, and has issues...and it's the vendor's fault? IBM issued a statement that they didn't want anyone installing the SP within their org b/c of issues they'd found during testing. For home users...if you're running your XP box on the Internet such that you *must* have SP2 in order to keep operating, and can't wait for the shake-down cruise...well, then something's already wrong with what you're doing. I guess there's just no pleasing some people. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html
