ianmdrennan 2 #26 August 9, 2004 QuoteSorry but I've been working in IT too long to buy that lame excuse. Then you haven't learned much about the motivation of malicious coders then. Like anything I'm sure there are those that go after MS purely because they're MS. Most, however, do not. Greatest target base. If you think any other OS that was so widely spread wouldn't be the target of the same attacks, you are kidding yourself.

Slappie 9 #27 August 9, 2004 Let's get one thing right.. M$ is the largest and will be.. end of argument. Do other OSes offer better products? Sure, but they don't get the product support M$ gets. Now read between the lines on this one. M$ is releasing a patch (SP2) that is not compatable with the current Intel CPUs. Windows worked with Intel to create XP. Now why would M$ be slapping Intel in the face by releasing a patch that isn't compatable? Well, I see it as a way to beef up sales of new Intel products. Just about Christmas this crap is going to hit. Intel is releasing new chips etc.. So what better way to increase sales of new machines that run M$. "Planned Obsolecence" a very nice marketing tactic the Japanese have used for years. Makes of PCs and Software use the same thing. Even before they release a piece of hardware or software they've got the replacement already in production. Once releases it's got a self-life of 6 month MAX. As for M$ being safe... Well it's a mine field on the internet, email etc.. I've used M$ products since MSDOS. Yea, I've gotten some viruses, worms or whatever. They're a hassle. I've also learned safe surfing & email habits. It's consumer education too. Any OS is going to have holes. M$ is just the big monkey everyone wants to attack.

rmsmith 1 #28 August 10, 2004 I just downloaded "winxp_sp2_admin" at home since our network at work is really slow lately. Pretty amazing file size for a service patch; maybe it's Windows 2003 Workstation! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am running SP2 on a couple different boxes..and they areXP SP2.V. 2149 running on an INTEL Pentium III 731MHZ w/ 384 MB of ram..and same OS on a P II 400Mhz with 512 MB of ram. It does run a tad faster on the twin proc Pentium4 3 Ghz with 1 GB of ram though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites labrys 0 #30 August 10, 2004 QuoteM$ is releasing a patch (SP2) that is not compatable with the current Intel CPUs.

Well, our LAN at work is 10/100, and I would be pushing this 267-Mb patch with HFNETCHKPRO.
