Service Pack Deux?

Microsoft should make SP2 available to all users and backport the changes to older operating systems, or they risk putting profits ahead of security yet again.

backporting?? give me a break! 2004-07-16

hello,

i would like to disagree with you where you say MS should backport these changes to older OS's.

why?

I think MS have made a very good move in terms of self-image and security in bringing SP2 out - i dont see why they should spend a lot more time + money on backporting these features to win2k and less.. those users should upgrade to XP or longhorn (when it arrives)

on a side note i DO think MS should reduce the price of the upgrade to XP because of how old XP is now - this would encourage a lot of business to upgrade and reap the security benifits.

cheers
d.
