Feast of Egos

Eager to tarnish Microsoft's shiny new Service Pack 2, the security press managed to spin the most thin and marginal issues into "gaping holes" and "security craters."

Most of the complaints I've seen were technically incorrect or overblown as you have shown. It would also seem that the Microsoft bashers aren't hesitating to join the frenzy caused by opportunists. A good example is the other response to your article that joyingly uses M$ and references Bill Gates as though he made every decision regarding this service pack. Hell, the ?Breaks his own apps? comment references an overblown issue! Whatever. Microsoft released a good service pack, I've deployed it to our enterprise, and I'm going to be pushing to upgrade all our workstations to XP now because of the amount of control that I get through group policy.
