Whatever happened to testing? Shouldn't we expect a company like Microsoft to test such a patch? XP was supposed to be the "most secure" O/S ever from MS in the first place. It has turned out to be just like the rest of Microsoft's offerings: Out the door into production, and let the customer be the beta tester for security flaws, holes, and other vulnerabilities. Why? PROFIT comes first. Saying that critisism of this latest service pack having "issues" is a cheap shot just doesn't wash with those of us who have been using Microsoft's products for a long time. They deserve every bit of critisism as long as their marketing strategy remains as it is.
