    "Disaster for the Average User"

    by bls745 on May 9, 2005

    Pros: Better Security

    Cons: Compromised Many Programs

    Summary: I finally agreed to update after endless nags from Microsoft for SP2. Immediately I had problems from e mail to Word and constant security clearance screens. So I removed SP2. Wrong thing to do. It rendered my whole system inoperable, I had to pay $200 to Advanced Software Support through Dell to reload Windows. I almost lost my data as well as even the safe boot system was inoperable for awhile. Admittedly, I'm not a tech expert but I'm not a novice either and all I can say is stay away from it.
