Interview of the Windows XP SP2 Dev Team

Posted by Hemos on from the one-step-forward? dept.

Masa writes "SuperSite for Windows has a nice interview called "Windows XP Service Pack 2: The Inside Story". The interview gives a good insight, what kind of a project the Service Pack 2 was, how it got started and how huge effort it actually was." The ITMJ Product Guide is part of OSTG, as is Slashdot.

    I think it's safe to say that any developer that doesn't expect bugs in his software is an delusion, self-important, arrogant, total fucking dumbass. There will ALWAYS be a way to exploit every piece of software. The faster you learn this, the safer your software becomes.
