Tom,

I don't think the OP means "don't talk about SP2 with
regards to security here".  I think what he's rather
clearly referring to is if you install SP2 without
thinking, and then something bad happens (ie,
cardreader stops working) b/c you installed SP2 on a
production system, don't bring *that* up on the list.

This is a security mailing list.

Windows XP SP2 represents possibly the most
fundamental change in 
windows internet policies for quite a long time.

It also includes - supposedly - features that make
it less prone to 
virus attack and buffer overflow exploits.

Both of these are related to security.

I'd say this is one of the best places to discuss
sp2.

Tom Russell.

That's right, go pollute somewhere else.

We do not need reports from people whose
cardreader doesn't work any 
longer after they installed SP2 on a production
machine.
Go away!

Niek Baakman
