i agree that this is "crap update".
Ok.
don't use windoze for anything serious, but a person familiar with windoze said sp2 breaks so much warez it is unusable.
Just how useful is a phrase like "breaks so much warez it is unusable"? So far, I've seen multiple posts to various lists where many users are reporting no problems at all. Now and again...sporadically...there are the one-zies and two-zies indicating that something else is going on. For example, one poster mentioned that the main window in focus will blink three times and then go fuzzy. To that poster, I would suggest checking with the vendor that provided your video driver. There is a post on NTBugTraq that indicates that SP2 breaks the raw socket functionality used by nmap. But other than that, I don't really see much else. Admittedly, when I see statements such as "breaks so much warez it is unusable", I pretty much ignore them, and chalk them up to MS-bashing. After all, if the person were serious, one would expect more information about which "warez" is affected, what sort of behaviour was observed, etc. If the best you can provide is "some warez"...don't bother. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
