Waiting and watching

So XP SP2 has released to manufacturing. I’m going to be keeping a careful eye on reactions, issues, breakage, etc. for the next few days. Hopefully after I’ve had a few days to see what everyone else is experiencing with this, I’ll go get it myself and start testing on our network. Luckily there are only 5 XP machines, including my own, currently on our network, so I can take my time a little bit and make sure it’s all under control before rolling it out to the other 4 machines, and then making sure it gets added to any new machines that come in later this year. (Yeah we’re a bit behind the times on our OS choices, what else is new?)

Here looks like a good place to start, and the SP2 forums probably have a wealth of info!

    Because I’ve been in the “not putting up with any BS” mood all weekend, I present to you some critiques of things you commonly see online: As more information came in about the blogger hack, it is amazing how many people who immediately kicked in with their own “expert” opinions about what happened were so…

    Thanks go out to Shannon who had the answer to my IE title bar question. As soon as I read the solution I thought to myself, “Group Policy Editor! I knew there was a simple place to set that!” Thanks Shannon! Follow these topics: Uncategorized
