I think the MS "head of security marketing" expressed
pretty clearly what MS wants, last week in a Slashdot interview:
"While we want customers to be evaluating Windows Vista, it's super
important that business customers in particular, who have NOT yet deployed
Windows XP SP2, think seriously about deploying it. While a large number of
enterprise customers have deployed Windows XP SP2, many still haven't. While
I get that not every desktop will get upgraded to Windows XP SP2 between now
and Windows Vista, I think it's critical that laptops and Internet facing
desktops move to SP2."
Microsoft would like you to buy all of their products....
for your own safety.
On the other hand, you were trying to comply with
their wishes. If you're going to be a sheep, and hold
out your wool for shearing, then you have little grounds
to complain when Microsoft snips it off.
