Re: XP SP2
Based on what I read last week, at least one testing agency has
reported that more than 50% of their test machines failed to
boot after being upgraded with SP2. So it looks like MS will be
busy stomping bugs for the next few months.

Like most companies we have to run Windows. Our solution to
the multitude of security problems was to deny our Wintel boxes
unfiltered access to the Internet (no downloads, no activex, etc)
and block all their email attachments.

Zero Windows problems for 19 months and counting. Life is
good.
