SP2 is fine if it's a choice, but not if it's forced on us
Installed SP2 on a number of computers. Fine, no problem, fixes a number of security holes and is particularly good at protecting people with little or no technical knowledge.
However, one of my PC's has a graphics card which is incompatible with SP2. Doesn't matter if you install from XP SP2 CD or if you install XP SP1 and upgrade to SP2 later.. as soon as SP2 is on there - it won't boot. Safe mode makes no difference - just freezes with corrupted colours on the splash screen.
Do microsoft acknowledge this problem? do they hell. In fact, I've just seen some pop up telling me *I*HAVE*NO*CHOICE* but to upgrade to SP2 if I want to continue recieving support.
My point is: I got no fundamental problem with SP2 but now I'm in a position of needing to buy a new VGA card in order install SP2 so that Microsoft will let me keep my machine patched to fix holes they left there in the first place...
I am seriously pi$$ed with m$
