Vann Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I use Linux on all my personal machines, but my job involves configuration computer labs at my university. On those machines I installed SP2 as soon as it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 i'm currently running sp1 and i'm preparing to format and use my unattended sp2 .why to upgrade to sp2?? it's too easy, sp2 contains all the updates on sp1 plus windows update, so why not install it (note install like start from 0 not upgrade)??ps: i miss in the poll "not running sp2 but i plan to update" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 why to upgrade to sp2?? it's too easy, sp2 contains all the updates on sp1 plus windows update, so why not install it (note install like start from 0 not upgrade)??All those annoying new things, especially that "Open FIle Security Warning". I wish they made it easy to turn it off....then I'd have no problems. Or a way to ask if a program doesn't run (breaks the new Microsoft regs) then ask if you still want to run it....

Phyridean Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Just got my SP2 Cd last night, about 3 weeks earlier than their lowest estimate (4-6 weeks=estimate, 1 week=how fast I got it). I've installed it on all my machines except my laptop, which is broken some good stuff in there, and some stuff I'll have to get used to ignoring all over again...

DakotaSunRunner Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 @prathapmlI ordered a CD last Thursday. I haven't recieved it yet. Have you?@ravashaakThis is what I'm afraid of, too. I ordered my sp2 CD last week thursday and got it yesterday and I think that is the fastest delivery time I have ever seen from microsoft. Yours should be coming along soon.
