SP2 Proving To Be Interesting

As I have mentioned before, we have been testing Windows XP Service Pack 2 for some time now. Overall our experience has been good. However, we are finding some issues. For instance, SP2 breaks Norton Antivirus, both the retail and Corporate versions. There are patches for both products that correct the problem.

The built in Firewall and Pop Up blocker work fine but do cause some issues that some users may have problems with. Some Websites use Pop Ups as part of their site navigation. The user may get confused when things are not happening on a website that used to happen before. The problem is easily cured but may cause problems for some.

The problems we have seen with SP2 so far have been minor. However, we do expect more. We will begin testing at Client sites next week. So we'll see what happens!
