Microsoft has Delayed SP2, Again

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the back-to-the-drawing-board dept.

I_am_Rambi writes "According to news.com.com "Microsoft has again delayed a long-awaited update to Windows XP, citing quality concerns. The company had planned to wrap up development this week on Windows XP Service Pack 2, but a Microsoft representative said late Wednesday that the software giant had decided that more work was needed on the update before if could be released to manufacturing." Yea, if 3 out of 5 machines failed to come back up, it needs some polishing."

    "But, you can turn the firewall features off _very_ easily."

    You mean like I've always been able to do in OS X? A simple toggle next to each service?

    "I really like the popup blocker and other IE changes in SP2 as well"

    You mean like I've always been able to do in Safari and Firefox?

    I'm not trolling, but expounding features that I've enjoyed elsewhere for years reminds me of why I avoid MS products as much as I can - the other options allow me to enjoy now what MS might deliver long after the fact.
