SP2 is a solid, secure release. It is a major "Critical Update"
for Windows XP and updates about 5 million lines of code, enabling much stronger security, stability, and affords a tad better performance benefit. I would encourage you to install it.

The manufacturers have had the code for several months.
Many just ignored it. Those that wanted to keep their customers happy made the necessary changes or information available to their customers. Some of the others blame Microsoft and suggest not to install SP-2. With still others there are simple changes to return to full functionality. And yet others with their poorly written software may be abandoned since the manufacturers see no profit in an update. There are other reasons, but those are some of the big ones. But your statement "...when microsoft does not release the code..." is clearly wrong. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ wrote in message ... thats what happens when microsoft does not release the code to the software manufacturers before updating the operating system. patch here and a patch there. old macdonald billy gates. e i e i o -----Original Message----- would install SP2.

Wrong. Many have no problems and they are not morons. Even those that do have problems are not morons. However someone like you that makes such an unqualified broad statement... -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ "Jim L" wrote in message ink.net... would install SP2.

Only a moron would call others morons for doing something the moron is
incapable of doing or understanding. "Jim L" wrote in message ink.net... would install SP2. DON'T DO IT.....NO MATTER WHAT....IT WILL SCREW UP YOUR PC. -- Jim, |

wrote in ink.net: would install SP2. DON'T DO IT.....NO MATTER WHAT....IT WILL SCREW UP YOUR PC. Well, since you're making sweeping statement regardless of expertise and planning (and of even reading the SP-2 description and technical details), a like statement would be: Only morons don't know how to cleanup, stabilize, and disinfect their systems before applying a monstor upgrade. Now I wonder in which camp of morons to which Jim belongs. Both. |

Now I wonder in which camp of morons to which Jim belongs. Both. I sympathise with the sentiments, but what's the average user going to do? Either ignore updates completely and get infested by trojans and viruses, or slap on the update and hope? Only a very small %age of users is *ever* going to read the documentation, Cheers, Cliff |

" (Please note that the picture of Jim L under "Moron" is a different

Yeah I guess I was wrong.....look at today's post in this newsgroup.....ONE
DAY (today's not over yet)....11 problems related to SP2....we are not all computer geeks able to work through the multitude of problems that SP2 created. If MS wants to make computers for the masses then they should work out the problems before they release something like this on the general public. Not throw patch after patch at us. I forgot rule number one of the computer geeks manual....Thou shall not criticize Microsoft "Jim L" wrote in message ink.net... would install SP2.
