[Rhodes22-list] Urgent Change needed for XP Machines: TurnoffAutoUpdate...

The Desktop Architecture group at my company is part of my team and we've
been scrambling for the past week to put out communications to our users not
to do the update. As of Monday, they've put in a block within the registry
to prevent the automatic update from occurring. We already know that SP2
will break some of our internal applications and will wreck havoc with our
SMS remote control capability. Testing and workarounds are underway but we
are on 'hold' until it gets the green light from the team.

Bill:

The reason they delayed releasing SP2 is they knew they had
problems.  But did you notice that the company is concerned about their own
software.  Maybe their software has security problems.
I have run into compatibility problems before.  I am a home user and
will download and trouble shoot the problems myself.  Nothing here is new to
me.  I am ready.

P.S. Have you notice how quit Michael is lately.  Maybe he is working on the
problem.
P.S. Mark should have some salient comments.
P. S. I read Herb's remarks.

Again, if you primarily using Microsoft software and affiliates,
they have been working on he problems for several months.  If they believed
it crash XP, I doubt that they would go forward.

Bill,
My computer expert (my wife) says that your e-mail holds some water, but
them she's always skeptical about new fixes and patches from Bill.
