Comming Mid 2004>Service Pack 2

[DF]

All our security problems will be over with the release of SP2 so says MS.

Since Longhorn is far off from release I wonder if a Service Pack 3 will be
needed after the hacker get through SP2?

There is a document that discusses the changes in Windows XP functionality
that will be introduced in SP2 at the following location
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tr...et/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/winxpsp2.asp

SP2 is way more then just hotfixes and a few security tweaks.

No problem.
We are in Beta with it now (looks good - or at least no problem on my
machines) and we hope to release as soon as it is ready.

Pity it doesn't include the ultimate 'anti spam protection' and enable us to
send a power surge to the originator.
