Complete List of Bugs Fixed in SP2

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the still-waiting-for-bugs-created-list dept.

callipygian-showsyst writes "Microsoft has published the complete list of bugs fixed in Service Pack 2. They range from the obscure like: 'File Appears to Be Deleted Although You Do Not Have Permissions on the OS/2 Warp4-Based Server' to the serious-sounding: ' Stop error message on a blue screen when you transfer data to a USB device in Windows XP'"

    And somehow both are good reasons to rip the shit out of microsoft, and sling around lots of half-truths and asshatisms that have been plaguing this site for years :) yay objectivity!

    How about:

    Your computer becomes a spam zombie within minutes of being connected to the Internet.

    or

    Outlook Express has no junk mail filtering.

    or

    Your screen becomes deluged with popup windows with no escape because closing one opens about ten others.

    Seriously though, I'm staggered at the volume of bugfixes here. What's sad though is that a product made it to market with this many bugs still in it. Windows is supposed to be a 'mature' product by now. Clearly it isn't. Many of the bugs describe stuff that's just broken full stop and should really have been removed before XP was released, ie: You cannot preview a fax in the Fax Console.. Others sound like simple program logic errors, which shold never have happenned in the first place. I particularly liked: Windows XP stops responding (hangs) when you log off the computer if more than one user is logged on. WTF?
