[PCTECH] Re: XP SP2

[David Gibbs <david@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Looks like both IBM and Symantec recommend waiting before upgrading to 
XP SP2... for different reasons.

"Symantec will release a product update to provide native support for 
the Windows Security Center status utility found in SP2. This update 
will be available worldwide over the coming weeks and will enable 
Symantec products to communicate their status to the Windows Security 
Center utility.  Symantec encourages its customers to install the 
product update prior to installing SP2 in order to avoid incorrect 
reporting from Windows Security Center."

"But IBM last week told employees to hold off installing SP2 until Big 
Blue can fully test and customize it. The company's technology 
department said the delay is "due to known application problems and 
incompatibility with IBM workstation applications."
