Story: SP2 clashes with more than 40 programs
Posted by: Lazlo Zoltan (Monday 16 August 2004, 4:40 PM)
I had to rollback my install of sp2 because a very important program I use would not work with it. MS should have realized creating new conflicts for previously working software as unacceptable and at least provided a switch that would allow the existing programs to run and better troubleshooting help info as well. I wasted a day after the upgrade trying to get my program to work with it, trying to find info and solutions to resolve my problem.
Of a certainty, if there was another operating system that had a windows emulator for my existing programs, I now would be looking at swicthing to it very closely.
Overall a bad move on the part of Microsoft.
