What's wrong with this picture:
Combine the latest OS from the world's biggest software company and the latest anti-virus software from the world's largest anti-virus software company and what do you get? BSOD!
Here's a quote from
one of the websites reporting SP2 problems:
The real surprise with Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 isn't potential compatibility issues, but the mayhem that can occur when SP2 is downloaded onto a system. CRN Test Center engineers evaluated a release candidate two (RC2) version of SP2, and upon completion of the install on three out of five systems, the machines blue-screened. A message stated that "winserv" was missing. The blue screen occurred on both Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Intel platforms, and all systems were running Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 1 installed. Every possible avenue to get back into Windows failed.
Anybody else want to take the risk? When there's a dip in worker productivity in the next 6-9 months because of all the users trying to undo all the problems that SP2 will have unleashed, we now know who to blame.
