Windows Service Pack #2

DataXUnknown · 09-4-2004, 08:11 PM

As many of you know, Windows Service Pack #2 came out, I am not sure how long it was, maybe about 2 weeks or so ago? Anyways, I have Windows XP. Service Pack #2 is available at http://www.microsoft.com/. Well, I got it, it doesn't seem to do much though. It says it is supposed to have more security against hackers and such. Can sombody explain why I waited about 30min-60min for such thing to download and install? I thought it was going to be somthing big. It said it is a recommended download for Windows users.

it improves IE and a bunch of other crap.

Firewall still sucks. IE still sucks. The download wasn't worth anything.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT

There are more con's than pros, wait a little bit for them to fix everything.

oh my gosh, the security is to far on service pack 2. IT'S TO MUCH SECURITY. I was fine with no viruses/hackers before, no need for more protection.

Nobody download it. Seriously. It's supposed to cause SO MANY PROBLEMS. It does far more harm than good. DO NOT DOWNLOAD SP2.

Who cares.. Nobody really needs this anyway. If you really have that big of a problem with IE or hackers or stuff then there's far more better things to can do.. Different browser, get a firewall, etc.. I'm sure most of this shit is useless because nobody has been asking for some big feature and nothing big has been announced.

I've had the beta for like 6 month and its works perfectly..

Unless you play online games. It is known to block Starcraft, Warcraft, Diablo, and other such games from even being booted up. They may have fixed it, though. I needs meh Starcraft, so I'm not even taking the risk
