Microsoft Delays Windows XP Service Pack 2

Posted by simoniker on from the gone-til-august dept.

Rinisari writes "DesignTechnica, among some others , explains that Microsoft has once again delayed its release of Service Pack 2 for Windows XP, though only until August. Microsoft has declined to comment on the reason for the delay. Windows Update v5, however, is online and operational (and works with Service Pack 1!), although not officially so. I know many smaller education institutions are chomping at the bit with the looming release, as they are worried about compatibility with some of the new features in Service Pack 2."

    This is why MS hates Open Source. Open Sourcers STEAL SOFTWARE!

    i havn't bought into the partisan b.s. that Washington has.
    No, you've just bought into the partisan BS that the Democratic party has.
    i can post my political commentary here if i like. Last time i looked there was still a 1st amendment.
    Who cares? I wasn't implying that there is a law that restricts your ability post political propoganda; I was saying that this isn't the place for it.

    Gee, I don't know, they might not let us into your exclusive country club since we don't have those queer looking plaid shorts.

    All I know about Bush is I had a good job when Clinton was president.
