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'"

    To update the list of last accessed files? To save different recording preferences like bitrate, input device, etc?

    Having it in the registry means you know where it is,

    That's like saying you know where every configuration file is because it's stored somewhere under '/'.

    (Although you do have a point about every program using a different syntax. Using the same syntax does really help all that much because you still have to understand the semantics of what you're changing to screw something up).
