Not only did they not advise the public, when they finally did, they were not accurate. We are running XP Pro SP2 and it was crashing us as well. We didn't learn the nature of the problem until our software vendor sent out the alert. We use two internet based programs to run our business and had constant crashes in both. Reduced productivity and service and raised frustration. Sad that our biggest fear of using ASPs was loss or internet connectivity. Never thought a patch to make us "more secure" would cause losses.
