XP SP2 Adoption Lagging Overseas

Posted by Zonk on from the large-patches-frustrate dept.

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."

    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?
