As a side note on the whole Linux/Unix/Mac thing, Sir Kenyth was right on the money. No matter what OS you are using, somebody, somewhere will find a way to crack it. Unfortunately 99% of all hackers and losers in the world have decided to target Microsoft because their pi$$ed off that Bill Gates is a better business man. If you keep your AV software up to date with the latest definitions, use Windows Update regularly and run a good firewall, you'll be fine.

Okay here's something I just realised about SP2. It's been a while since I was told that updates are available.
Checking the eula.txt in the system32 folder I find that the SP2 is 180 evaluation. This is because it is a beta and I was aware of this when I instaled it. What I was not aware of however is that it has completely changed my windows serial and therefore, I cannot download any updates now. I've contacted Microsoft and it seems that unless they have a pretty good explanation, along with a solution for me to change the serial, a format will be on it's way very soon! |

Bokken, isn't M$ upadating Windows Update as well? To version 6 (or was it 5)? I believe they are doing this to remove all unlawful copies of XP. You will be able to use it but not to uprade it.
Anyway, I believe Larry's title should read "Microsoft's XP will cause some compatability woes". [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]
