XP SP2

There’s a new channel9 video covering some of the new security features and what the user experience is going to be like.

By the way, I agree with what Scott says about it. It is going to be harder for casual end users, because they are going to be expected to think. I have been in this position long enough to tell you that any change, especially ones that require end users to think about using their computers, is going to cause many frantic phone calls to the IT folks. Thank goodness I only have 5 people running XP, for now. Maybe I can get them used to it before we start rolling out XP to other users.

Today one of my users got a Publisher file that she couldn’t open at all, but which opened fine and dandy in Publisher 2003. I haven’t noticed any other Office programs that simply…

  • I was a young blogger

    I just noticed something. Over on the list of folks who subscribe to this blog via Bloglines, there are a couple listed as having been subscribed since January 1, 1970. That means I was blogging at 1.5 years old, right? Gee I hope I’ve gotten better since then. Tags: Bloglines ESBN 56326-060227-480400-27 Rate content: Follow…
