Lol!

I agree with you Solaris, what's your problem?

solarismka:
If it longhorn takes such a high requirment I wonder how big its service packs are going to be?

skyman8081:
I never knew that fixing ones mistakes was such a bad thing.

[sarcasm]
I guess M$ (<-- note my clever use of the dollar sign) must not fix all the bloated, insecure, unstable code,  Because they ONLY can make it worse!
[/sarcasm]

Seriously though, this Service Pack fixes a ton of stuff that people like you were complaining about.  I don't see what the problem with fixing bugs is.

Because it does not fix the things that I complain about, thus I continue to complain about them.  I need them to close holes,  decrease the bloat.  Bascially do what they say that they are going to do.  But rather, just like all the other service packs before it.

Brings instability issues by bringing the machine to a crawl.  By breaking important applications and with all of that NOT fix the hole but instead try to cover it up.  Thats why when someone writes an exploit of M$ windows.  All that has to change is maby a few command lines.  Everything else stays the same.

Its also why we have things like MyDoomW32.worm a b c d..... etc.

Pluse there is the fact, knowing all of this that, its huge to download and impliment anyways.
Seriously.  To pach an M$ system to get the same result as that of an infeccted mashine that the patch is supposed to prevent.  You might as well leave it unpatched and at least your shit will work for a while and its not you thats fucking things up by believeing in the M$ PR Machine.

Service packs are defiantly a good thing, they are an indication that MS is trying  to fix their bugey  operating system. I must admit that in the past, one service pack contained a bug that was responsible  for a new exploit, but the net result of using it was good, as it fixed other exploits.

Despite what some people say, Windows has improved a lot over the last decade, I would admit that these improvements have not been good enough.

Windows 3.1 was the first reasonably mature version, and it has only seen 2 major upgrades. Windows95 & Windows 2000, both of these have been a significant improvement on the previous.

I can give technical details as to why each major upgrade of Windows is significantly better to the previous, when all that some people can come up, are BS accounts of their personal experiences and similar here say.

MS does not  release services packs and upgrades for no reason, they don't do it to fuck your computer up!

They do it for a good reason.

I know Linux has improved at faster rate than Windows but this doesn't mean that Windows has stood still.
