SP2 deployed to 25% of Corp PC's
4/4/2005
"Based on our research, a substantial number of companies have yet to decide whether to accept or embargo Windows XP SP2. To date, we have observed that 40% of companies using Windows XP have actively avoided upgrading to SP2, and only 7% have actively accepted it. The other 52% of the companies showed no direction or policy towards SP2, and may find themselves having support issues by allowing multiple editions of Windows XP to exist in their infrastructure." TweakXp Makes you wonder why! Treeman

Only a tiny number of companies worldwide have switched to an
alternative desktop OS (Linux et al) other than Microsoft. Once the rest of these companies realize they will have no support for SP1 and no compatibillity with newer versions of IE, WMP, and other Microsoft applications they will come around and update their systems with the new service pack. It's that simple. Service Pack updates are a fact of life with Microsoft operating systems. My two cents worth. Harlin Seritt |

Harlin Seritt Lol,, Linux home turf is Europe, Scandanavian origin, Finland more precisely,,lol, within the ECC lInux is the official program , Microsoft , they have never heard of. As few of Linux installation here is the same for Windows installations there. also Microsoft is in the personal computing business, no business would use it, The Official Computer Language made by the US Businesses and US Government Joint Committee is" COBOL" and no one owns it or licenses it, anyone may use it Its still the Top of the Heap, get use to it, it has no web browsing features, ITS ALL BUSINESS and nothing else Ole(inserts the blade into the longhorn and it drops dead) !

All you have to worry about is that you have chosen the right Linux from amongst the (approx.) 8,714 different breeds and species of it that exist. And then there are other esoteric niceties such as the periodic need to "recompile the kernel" and so forth. Ron Martell Duncan B.C.

Imagine, an MVP complaining about having choice--a real shocker! The brand loyalty on the msnews server is admirable but blinding, I'd say. Will Niccolls |

Microsoft has made some terrible mistakes, regarding security, to try to maintain a user freindly atmosphere. Actually if you look at the update and security patch history for other operating systems, including Linux, you will find that they have similar records to that of Windows. Windows gets more publicity because it is the biggest target by far, and therefore far easier to hit. If you were shooting at a target 100 yards away and had your choice of two - one the size of house the other the size of matchbox, which would your choose? There is also a semi-official "code of honor" amongst the hackers and virus writers that requires them to leave Linux alone or face ridicule and ostracism by their peers. Ron Martell Duncan B.C.
