Installing SP2

[Joe]

In a last-ditch effort to repair some broken sys files, along with cmd (never realized how much I used that), netstat, and ping, I'm upgrading to SP2.

EDIT -
In short, good bye.

[Newby]

Yay! No more Joe!

Err, why not install another OS? FreeBSD? Slackware? Anything? =P

[Sidoh]

Haha.

[Joe]

Newby, send me slackware CDs and a hardware modem (as opposed to a winmodem) and I will gladly switch to slackware the very SECOND it gets here.

On a side note, it didn't fix a damn thing.

SP2 isn't horrible. I find nothing wrong with it... that is ... I never used XP before SP2 ;P

I'm not a big fan of SP2, since it's more annoying, but I like installing it on my family's computers.  It's good for dumb people because I don't have to continually look after them.

I was installing XP SP2 today, then realized I didn't have a CDKey.

So, hello from slackware.

I'm not a fan of Windows in general. I use Windows once every like 6 days to play games on weekends except on my laptop to print. I'm too lazy to setup CUPS ;P!

I don't know how, but since upgrading to SP2 it has figured out that I don't want to be bothered with messages like "You don't have a virus scanner installed."  I guess it just stops being annoying or I find a way to make it un-annoying.  *shrug*

Incidentally Joe, you should know that patching something with such serious defects likely wouldn't have made your defects go away.

That's all in the XP Security Panel. You can just select the option "I'll control my own Anti-Virus" or something along those lines, same with firewall, and then it  doesn't bother you.
