The whole idea of service packs is bad.

I disagree, it shows that MS is fixing their buggy OS. I would hope that SP 2 took so long to release because MS is learning form its mistakes. In the past MS has rushed the release of service packs and other software thus cutting corners and fucking it up. This could also be the reason why the release of Long Horn keeps getting delayed.

Why is it so difficult for MS to show everything what's in it.

I take it you mean the packages and not the source code.
MS only knows.
Because Windows users are retarded and they want to ensure that SP 2 is

I'm not the only one as most people do not have much success taking thier Radeon past the generic Vesa driver in Linux.

Have you tried the generic "ati" or "radeon" drivers? (And ATI for outsourcing their driver work.)

It has been a really long time since I've encountered an Internet Explorer only site, and even then I just force Safari to identify itself as IE, which usually works fine.
In my experience the Gecko engine is even better at dealing with IE-only sites than KHTML.
Seriously though, if a company/service isn't professional enough to test their site on a variety of browsers/platforms, they don't deserve your business. And it's really not that hard nowadays, especially since the most popular browsers are cross-platform and MacIE is dead.
BTW: Are Konqueror and Safari pretty close when it comes to rendering, since they're both based on KHTML?

I think Viper means the truetype fonts.
You need to add them manually for legal reasons.
