Story: Windows XP Service Pack 2: a first look
Posted by: John (Wednesday 18 August 2004, 4:57 AM)
I have been using winxp sp2 and i have to say big improvement on the security side of things but would never think twice on switching my Norton Firewall off.
Improvements in compatability can be noticed i do quite a lot of software testing and some would not run and now run perfectly. Microsoft still have alot of work to do the challenge is still on and going strong.
It was getting to the point of which i was going to get rid of winxp that came with system (includes cracking the disk) but since they worked so hard i'll make an exception only for a few months.
MS Windows or Linux?
MS scrapes by again
I love linux but im willing to stick to windows on 1st impressions of sp2. MS doesnt release incomplete software. its just that its a popular OS and some people are out to exploit some of windows great features its just a risk you take when u access the www. throughout all my years ive never had any data stolen or lost or ever had a virus (No lie). i like to prevent things not wait for them to happen.
If you're a online company dealing in clothes and you get data lost or stolen or even a known virus some of your employees are slacking off.
