Taking the SP2 plunge
Science & Nature, Work January 4th, 2005
After a few months of testing and dealing with other issues, we’re finally “supporting” XP Service Pack 2 at work. Machines that auto-update against our patch servers will get SP2 in the next few days. Considering my laptop is probably not going to be connected overnight to be patched, and since I wanted to check out SP2 before I had users in asking me about it, I decided to upgrade. Backups occurred so I know I have a fall back, and so I started the install after lunch.
Over an hour later, it’s still halfway through and is chugging away. I wonder what this is going to break. I’ve installed SP2 on other testbed machines, but not the one I use day to day. I guess we’ll see, if it ever finishes the install….

really? it’s taking that long? that’s strange.
let me know how it goes.
Hmm…I really wish I could post comments via my rss reader.
As for SP2, I’ve had minimal interaction with. My parents XP box at home had the update installed while I was home over xmas break. Seems to be a good thing for home users, the less trouble my parents can get themselves into, the better.
