Microsoft Quietly Releases Windows 2003 SP2

Posted by kdawson on from the long-list dept.

Several readers noted that Microsoft has quietly released 32-bit Windows 2003 Service Pack 2 for download. (The 64-bit edition is still showing as a release candidate on the site.) The installation of SP2 may potentially regress hotfixes that have been deployed previously; Microsoft has released a script to scan for hotfixes that may potentially regress.

    Microsoft's fondness of the MEGA patch just means too many things that can go wrong. With Debian, if I update an app or library or whatever ... it pretty much stays updated. I don't have to go back and re-install the same update later.

    you're on slashdot where "quiet" means that the slashdot editors were too busy sucking dicks to notice. slashdot is such a fag bin anymore.
