Survey Shows Admins Avoiding SP2

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the untested-waters dept.

bonch writes "Tom's Hardware Guide is running an article about Windows XP Service Pack 2 and its limited acceptance by IT administrators. AssetMetrix is cited in the article as reporting that fewer than 24% of over 136,000 Windows XP PCs in 251 North American corporations even had SP2 installed. THG goes on to describe the reasons given by admins and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of installing SP2."

    Can the moderators please stop posting reports about SP2 acceptance. We've been bombarded with stories on /. about sp2 acceptance and bugs since sp2 was released. Its windows. Its buggy. and it normally takes long to be accepted. Think about it. Windows XP came out in 2000/2001. Its 5 yrs down the line an people are still taking their switching over from ME/98. Why would we care that sysadmins are taking 6months to install SP2?
