I was in Redmond in June, for a conference thrown my MS on SP2. Someone asked that, and the product manager's response was "Not sure, we'll look at it."
Optimistically, I think it depends on how well this does in reducing the number and severity of security fires MS has to put out. If it does, they'll do it for W2kSP5 and W2k3 SP1.
I agree. I was one of about 200 corporate IT administrators they (MS) paid to fly to Seattle and attend a 2 day seminar on SP2. It was a significant expense for a product that they will offer for free.
It was all technical people on the MS side, giving candid responses, and the real impression I got was that this is a company taking the security issue very seriously.
I was dubious of a 325MB SP that included a firewall, but I'm sold.
Uhm, yeah, that would be great.
I think you have to work in a cube world "initech" office to really get Office Space!
"Sounds like somebody has a case of the mondays."
haha ahah....
and in my office, all the lickspittles did get together to sing happy birthday to the VP and there was cake...
