I would partially disagree with you b/c it has caused many people probs. The reason being that sp2 changes the default settings. People are not warned about this! Then it seems like a jungle sometimes to find their way out of the mess! The probs can affect each user in different ways so there's not necessarily one simple answer to the issue. Sometimes there's cases where each case has to looked at on an individual basis. Pity the M$ prog's were not more competent! I was competent at what I did as a Prog'r why can't a 'major' co. be competent at what they do particularly when they have more resources at hand! Is it laziness or slack of attitude or else???????????? How can they 'not' double-check their worx when tested under different conditions & circumst's. Or is it just a part of their 'game'!
