RE: SP2 for XP has serious bugs

Fs strongly states that you should get this update.  Sbc strongly thinks
that this update is a good idea.  If you have newer software they are
going to start calling for this update.  It will update all of your
drivers.  Lots of bug fixis and it is more stable.  Yes there will be a
servus pack 3 or a new version of windows and they will make the same
promuses.  And they will be kept.  For example windows 95 was better
then 3.1 98 was better then 95 me was better then 98 for the most part.
Some will argue with this because they lost a lot of that old dos
support.  Xp was lots better then me xp sp1 was more stable then xp xp
sp2 is more stable then sp1.  that is what it comes down to.

Hi Alan,
I suspected as much from Microsoft.
I don't understand why anyone using Jaws, and running internet security
software, would bother with downloading and installing the new service
pack. Here's what it boils down to: 1. If you are a Jaws user,and you
already have internet security software, chances are you have already
determined how to access the programs, either through scripting, work
arounds, or other means. 2. Why install something else that you don't
really need? The new service pack is an 80mb download, according to
Microsoft, and follows the traditional promises that they offered in the
past. If what you have on your machine is working,for you, don't mess
with it. People are in a hurry to get the latest, and greatest, when
there are enough problems with the software they are already using. I
have looked at a lot of upgrades, and updates, and found that alot of
the time they don't fix problems, they just add new features. Jaws
users, need to be careful about what they download, there are enough
quirks with Jaws, and different applications that we need, why add to
the problem? These are just my opinions, I keep my system to a minimum,
and have few problems. Richard Justice
