Heh, very true.
The best defence is to use a NAT router/hardware firewall and any browser that isn't IE. :D

I just want it for DirectX 9.0c. :)

Why not just download DirectX 9.0c and leave SP2 alone (like I'm going to do ;))

Microsoft pulls XP Service Pack at last moment

No date given for release


By INQUIRER staff: Thursday 05 August 2004, 07:08

SERVICE PACK two for Windows XP was supposed to be released to manufacturing yesterday but Microsoft pulled it at the last moment, without giving a reason for the move.
So far, it hasn't given another date for the release, designed to provide rather more security than previous versions of Windows.

The only thing Microsoft said was that it needed to make sure that Service Pack Two met quality standards.

If you're running a reasonable firewall and AV software SP2 is going to do very little for you, I tried the beta, it's nothing to get excited about, in fact, you'll probably notice very little difference apart from more grief when you use IE. so I fail to see why you're getting so excited about it's release, I certainly won't be installing it until I come across software I need that demands it's.

Don't think it will be a long wait as they are still quoting the 25th as the time when it will release through Windows Update, probably found a bug to fix before it releases.

Must admit the Betas were nothing special and most people won't notice any difference if they are already using firewalls and anti-virus software. More likely to get a few annoying balloon tips though lol

Whatever they did to IE in SP2 annoyed me, if you preview local documents with javascript/flash etc in them you have to do a couple of clicks each time to allow the content to show, never did find a way round it.

So does SP2 offer anti virus then?
