Could you post "SP2 - Tip of the Week (or Month, or Day)" LITE messages.
I would read them all.

Thanks.

| In the past week I have helped two of my clients (for now) test and move
| some systems to XP SP2 - one wanted a COE process around XP SP2. They
| originally hated it because they mentioned it slowed their systems down or
| prevented some things to not work or other...
|
| After spending just two days at most between the two clients, I proved to
| them that it was not SP2 - it existed BEFORE SP2 and that SP2 brought it to
| surface. Eventually, I did two separate installs onto new systems and used
| their softwares and made several tweaks.
|
| Now, it works better than they thought and are quite satisfied.
|
| MORAL of the story...there are too many uneducated people (before you guys
| whine about something not working - try to imagine - maybe its you or lack
| of knowledge) who thinks they're technical until you teach them something
| about XP - it's not just about installing an OS - you have to KNOW how to
| configure it specially with applications in Enterprises. Even with XP or XP
| SP1 - I see MANY clients with misconfigurd systems for an enterprise. Like
| I said, its more than installing or upgrading - there are alot of
| configurations that needs to be done which MS doesn't do too well in
| documenting. If there are enough requests, I can or will provide this to
| the community as I do for my clients - a LITE version of the info.
|
| Don't give up people. Trust me, XP SP2 works and works well.
