Its got a lot of improvements on the wonderful world that is windows xp. Interesting note, IE now has built in popup blocking and is a great deal faster than firefox.

TitanTiger 20,499 Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Hopefully it takes care of the security issues that their last so-called fix left open. Otherwise, these guys are not going to be very happy: http://www.aunation.net/forums/index.php?s...indpost&p=78632 And congrats on getting a pop up blocker for the world's most popular browser. You're now to date with Mozilla and Safari, circa about 2-3 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AuNuma1 Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 I've heard mixed reviews about SP2. Some say that it offers much more security. More people say that it's just going to open up support hell for MS because SP2 sacrifices compatibility for that security. Either way, I'll update when it's final.

BamaGrad03 0 Posted July 9, 2004 Author Share Posted July 9, 2004 I updated because I do some beta testing for microsoft...hehehe suprise huh? But I have yet to find a single bug and my pc has been running for about 6 straight days since i put it in... and numa as far as compatability is concerned, one would think my system would be a prime candidate for it since I also run beta NVIDIA drivers and have an nforce2 board...which is a relatively new chipset.

Guest AuNuma1 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Hey BS, here's an article explaining more about those compatibility problems and it's not so much aimed at end users but more towards developers like yourself. I could see this causing some headaches for people, especially MS developers. PCWorld.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
