Windows XP Service Pack 3

(1/3) > >>

frullic:
SP3 came out. Microsoft says it fixes bugs. In fact, it hinders your computer to try to nudge you toward Vista. DO NOT DOWNLOAD! If you do, go in install/uninstall and remove it. It's really obvious if you read some of the code. Just spread the word to your friends on XP.

Ozymandias:
"if you read some of the code"?

What?

est:
I installed this at work in a VM and it has not affected the install negatively at all.  What in particular is this supposed to do to "nudge you toward Vista" ?

E. Spaceman:
Today at work I was talking to some dude about this. Apparently it makes only very negligible changes and some issues with other software means that if you don't disable it before (for example, some antivirus programs) it will fuck up your machine something fierce.

Dimmukane:
Wasn't that basically what happened with 2?  Albeit, the changes were more significant, but it threw a hissy fit with some of the anti-virus stuff, didn't it?
