windows XP SP2 - useful?

[Content]

to brainwash everyone and make them use windows operating systems
because at this point windows is right in everyones faces for the most part,
Other Linux based systems are in the backround and will soon rise to be better
than they are eventally. Instead of just filling out the cracks in service pack 1
with service pack 2, they should have just made a new and improved service pack

Actually,most computer users do not regularly update their firewall,antivirus,spyware,and adware and popup blockers.When the subscriptions run out most people do not renew.With more and more users going to high speed internet service vulnerabilities are increased.Microsoft is trying to help you remember to regularly update these security softwares.I'm not saying that M$$ SP2 firewall and antivirus are the best but at least they are something,and most new computers come with antivirus programs that can be renewed and updated so you can notify the SP2 security query that you will monitor your own program.SP2 is a positive step for the XP operating system.

I agree. SP2 was targetted for the casual PC user and not us software/hardware geeks.
