IMO the best IT managers are those that will tell Microsoft to shove their sp2 - thus saving themselves, and a lot of their clients/users, the potential for a whole lot of unnecessary headaches. There is not a single thing in sp2 that a system can't run just fine without. However, there are a LOT of things in sp2 that an increasing number of systems can't live with!!

The tool was designed for the group that asked for the tool. Business users that have lots of computers.

XP SP2 IS THE WORST THING EVER
Wayne;
"They really do need to test these things properly" SP-2 was possibly tested more than any other piece of software has in the past. Exactly what do you mean by the above statement? How many windows XP computers in the world? Now factor in that no two are identical. How does Microsoft or anyone for that matter test something as big as a Service Pack on all possible combinations? Can not be done, impossible. "I am an IT manager" Really? Then SP-2 should have had no surprises to you since your organization has been testing SP-2 for at least several months to check for compatibility issues. "I am now thinking of not even bothering as it is more bother than it is worth." Fine, it is your computer. But you make it sound like you are punishing Microsoft. How is that? "...that they may have non micro$oft software aswell on their machine." Nothing wrong with non Microsoft software as long as it is well written. For years software has been written taking advantage of what are now vulnerabilities. Microsoft has taken a big step and followed the demands of the IT community to make Windows more secure. Did you at least have a clean computer? Was the computer ready for Windows XP? Since your rant gave no details, it is impossible to know.
