windows xp sp2, incompatbilty issues ?

due to security improvements to be made in service pack 2 for windows xp, some applications may not work and developers are bing urged to check there software.

tony goodhew product manager at microsoft:

Quote:
"It may surprise some of the developers that we are changing some defaults, and that may affect the way some of the older applications run,"
if some programs dont 'mark' there executions in the system memory, then xp service pack 2 will deny that application to run.

Yes, any applications which don't mark their executions in memory

Probably won't affect many home users, but businesses who've had applications written for them might be affected
