Tom - there is actually
quite a bit of "concern" about SP2 out there in the profession. Most
of my peers are not installing it in their environments yet. Concerns
I have seen include some issues with apps not functioning after
installation. Personally, I only had a short time of running
it. I didn't have the time to look into it further right now. So
that part of the situation is my fault.
As
is often the case in the business world, the question is "is there a
compelling business reason" to update to it? If not, I'll let others
"test" it for me and observe reactions to it. Also, we have entire
custom apps packages created by a third party. They only
"certified" Win2K for them last year. If I install it, and
there are any app problems, the first thing they will tell me is to
uninstall XP.
I
remember all of the problems with NT SP6. Luckily, I saw the initial
reaction to it on some sys admin forums, and I waited until SP6a
arrived. Saved my employer downtime and money by dragging my feet
on it. (of course I was chastised at first for it, and commended
later) :-) Such is the life in IT.....

Re: ShopTalk: Re:
I find it interesting
that anyone would have problem with the XP SPII. Other than the long
download time, with DSL if took over 45 minutes, I have not seen or
experience one glitch. Actually I have picked up speed in transition
time between functions. I will admit that I waited three days before I
could muster enough courage to hit the Install button.
