After what can only be called a long wait, Microsoft has finally released it's Windows XP Service Pack 2 to business users. Now before you get excited, reports have circulated about programs behaving differently once the upgrade is in place and some programs have stopped working completely.
Microsoft have issued two knowledge base articles relating to this development (or should that non-development?):-
Programs that may behave differently in Windows XP Service Pack 2
Some programs seem to stop working after you install Windows XP Service Pack 2
One issue that becomes apparent from the articles is that the update seems to interfere with the workings of some antivirus and firewall software and there was I thinking that the update was supposed to improve system security.
Oh well back to the drawing board, maybe Service Pack 3 will fix Service Pack 2.
