XP SP2 Adoption Lagging Overseas
Vizquel wrote to mention an eWeek article reporting that Microsoft is frustrated with the lack of Service Pack 2 usage overseas. From the article: "During a keynote at the Security Summit East here, McKee said Microsoft has so far distributed more than 250 million copies of XP SP2 to provide a hardened shell around the operating system but the low upgrade levels remains a disappointment."
Honestly, this is by far the most uninteresting and useless slashdot headline I've ever seen. I'll take troll hits if necessary. For the love of god, why would I care if someone updates to service pack 2 or not? Christ!
"Recursive bipartite matching"- try it!
I concur. Even months after SP2 was out, I installed it and it broke my system. Soon after, I reinstalled, then switched to linux... No more need for SP2 upgrade ^_^

Welcome to the real world. Here in the real world most other countries have better broadband and more broadband users. Another funny thing is that the SP2 I install on everything doesnt do the genuine check. Yet another point would be that the check for genuine windows is rather new, way newer than SP2 and so anyone could have done it before that check, if that is the problem.
Do you have any valid points?
wow! MS get blame for everything here no matter what. damn if MS don't release patch/service pack and damn if MS did. no pleasing the Linux/OSS/slashdot tards here. We need more MS bashing!!!! F'ck MS insecure software 'cause we are so l33t we need no stinking patch/service pack. It's all MS falut that our systems got pawned. ....*insert typical slashdot comment here*...
