SP2 will take a long time to even out the quirks from Windows users. We've burned the image on to a CD for about 2000+ users and have copied the file on to users' desktops so they can double click on it for the install. For the most part, students complained about having to wait for over (and th

RE: MPLS signaling

RSVP is commonly used for LSP signaling/setup at least in one of the largest tier one's MPLS architecture. I'm not sure how many large ISPs use e2e QoS enforcement (none in my experience with public IP networks). Several use DSCP (actually IP Precedence) at the edge (CPE to ISP edge only). RSVP

FWIW, SP2 rendered my Sony Vaio PCG-SR17 completely useless. From what I can tell, it replaced the PCMCIA bridge driver (pcmcia.sys) with one that does not work, and there is no way to "roll back" the driver to the pre-XP2 one without rolling back the entire OS. I am in an ongoing dialog with MS
