XP SP2 IS THE WORST THING EVER
You are some sort of moron, as all this had been done, and yet the
technical guys at microsoft still could not fix it so get off your high horse of how I spell and shut the hell up if you have nothing informative to say (This is not an english class!)

Well I stick two fingers up at Micro$oft and will not be installing SP2 until they have a finished piece of work You are a moron of the highest order. You can't even spell "I have know idea [/sic/]" means you do because the word "know" means "to have knowledge of". So, you blamed MS for the problems instead of doing what you should have done and PREPARED YOUR SYSTEM(S) BEFORE INSTALLATION!! I hope your boss reads this and fires you on the spot! Fail to prepare - prepare to fail. You didn't follow the Six Step Plan, you just ploughed on in and installed, didn't you?! 1) Defrag the hard drive(s) 2) Run a systemwide virus scan 3) Run a systemwide spyware scan 4) Update all your drivers 5) Update your software 6) Turn off AVP before installation. Not MS's problem if you have no common sense! Or just no sense, full stop! |

"Jupiter Jones [MVP]" wrote in message ... 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.

XP SP2 IS THE WORST THING EVER
You cannot spell. You cannot create a grammatically correct sentence. You
cannot follow the basic instructions for installing SP2. Your computer is not properly maintained...and you say Microsoft produced an unfinished piece of work? Then you try to pass yourself off as an IT person? Let's review... 1. Can't spell. 2. Doesn't know the difference between "know" and "no" (i.e. I have know idea). 3. Lies about being an IT manager (a real IT person would have backed up *BEFORE* undertaking any service pack. 4. Cannot even muster up a decent rebuttal when slammed. I agree with anonymous...You are in serious need of a life... BTW, does it hurt walking around with that huge "L" stuck to your forehead? Bobby "Wayne" wrote in message om...

Having a new computer says nothing about compatibility issues and very little about the computer being clean unless you attempted to install SP-2 the very first thing out of the box. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ "Wayne" wrote in message om...

Gee, I wonder why, on all the machines on which I have installed SP2, I haven't had a single problem even to the point of a tax agent sending in tax returns through a VPN to the tax dept? Maybe because I thought ahead and made sure? Possibly. Maybe because SP2 doesn't really cause the problems so much as people without a clue who really cause most problems? More than likely! |
