I promise, my last post on this subject, but this is just hilarious. Not only does SP2 *break* functionality, to varying degrees, on many XP machines, but it does absolutely nothing, according to this review, to improve security: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/09/02/winxpsp2_security_review/ Oh, this is just so sweet, to watch them twist in the wind :-) -- JoeHill RLU #282046 / www.freeyourmachine.org 20:20:46 up 29 days, 20:05, 5 users, load average: 0.29, 0.29, 0.26 +++ "Two different philosophies about the nature of human intellectual production are in confrontation.
