Starting next month, the grace period for deferring the install of Microsoft's SP2 update expires. That means those who have their Windows XP machines set to automatically install Windows updates (a good idea) will find themselves updated.
You can turn off Automatic Updates, but the OnComputers team recommends consumers install this important security and stability improvement to Windows XP.
Those software application developers who have not yet updated their apps to play nice with SP2 should not be surprised to start getting more help desk calls starting April 12th.

IMO XP SP2 is great everyone should at least try it. If you are really scared image you hard drive then go for it. I run a win 3.1 Image program, Aldus photostyler SE, with SP2. It even scans OK.
ReplyDeleteSP2 is just too good not to try.
