Complete List of Bugs Fixed in SP2
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'"
can we have lists like this for Slashcode, please?
The editors are unable to construct suitably uniform icons for Microsoft and Windows because they are maladjusted tech weenies. These are distinct from geeks in that geeks may be dysfunctional and annoying, but they're not entirely loathesome and incapable of growing up.
Much like most of their contributers. Me included.
I couldn't agree more.
Seeing how this side makes fun of the richest man in the world and a convicted monopoly allways brings me close to tears.
Seriously, there is nothing wrong with making a little fun of microsoft. There really isn't.
windows has bugs?
Then it hasn't fixed THE bug.

Poor baby. I cry black, black tears.
You could always, you know, like, LEAVE if you don't like it. Last time I checked there were plenty of sites out there for people who shared your boring, uncritical, sheeplike views. Go hang out there if you don't like it here. Chances are you won't be missed much.
Nobody forces anybody to read slashdot ever. stop acting like you deserve for anybody to give a damn about your opinion. The reason it seems like you are in the minority is because you are. The reason it seems like most of us hate Microsoft is because most of us do, and we have just as much a right to our opinions as you do yours.
And if FREE discourse is too much for you, Mr. Patriot, then with all due respect, I invite you to leave this community.
a complete list of bugs CAUSED by SP 2?
Hmm I don't think MS has a big enough cluster of hard drives to document all those bugs.
I mod down so you can mod up. Your welcome.
Yes, the OSS community should all grow up like MS and spread a bunch of FUD instead. Bogus benchmarks and TCO studies are a much better way then having a funny Bill-Borg image. Then we can get a bunch of patents and fight like children in court over who thought up the multiple clicks "innovation" first.

The difference is that Linux people can make a logical arguement, Microsoft salesmen can only make up big lies and format them so stupid people who've been conditoned through schools accept it. Yea, there's grey area but still, the sides are polarised that way. How many studies have we seen that involved microsoft paying some 3rd party for research, er, advertising? I don't recall any of those being made for linux.
And I wouldn't call MS a "compeditor", more of just another annoying corporation we make fun of because they make it so easy; the slashdot people are most decidedly anti-big evil corporate entity; there's a long line of love-hate relationships between slashdot people and big evil corporate entities.
The real programmers couldn't give a rats ass what microsoft thinks about their work becuase they aren't trying to sell a product, they're building something for fun and giving it away. Slashdot people are usually pretty savvy as far as technology goes and thus understand how it is to be persecuted for doing what you love a lot more than with a big corporation that's losing business to some rabblerousers perfectly legal and constructive fun.
As far as Borg Bill or the Dirty windows go, there needs to be better icons. Replace the dirty windows with a BSOD screen on a can of beer, preferably the newest for the OS, and replace Borg bill with a super mario-bros esque version of him stomping on fat stubby formed african children...er...gomba's and punting around those lovable slow ass wingless corporate ceo's with the assramming expression on their faces as they get punted...er...turtle people.

... new bugs created.
Couldn't they have just put "This didn't work before" and then added say every tenth line of code? That would have been faster and probably more accurate
...bugs fix YOU!
