SP2 works fine, so long as people actually read the deployment docs
*prior* to installing it.
There's always going to be someone who can't install a patch or hotfix
(or the OS, for that matter)

I made the mistake of installing SP2 last night, and I'm having some serious
issues. Nearly every dialog box shows up blank, I am unable to set options
and/or access program functionality in practically every application on this
machine.
Windows XP SP2 has got to be up there with Windows NT 4.0 service pack 2
in terms of crap updates, possibly even worse. Maybe M$ are trying to
push everyone away from Windows ?
If I recall correctly, NT4sp3 was not long after NT4sp2.
I wonder if we can expect an XPsp3 "soon" that deals with all the crap
that XPsp2 brings upon us.
Apparently it saved everything I need for a rollback, so I'm really looking
forward to doing that. The catch: The 'Add or Remove Programs' feature no
longer works. The window appears, but is blank.
Does anyone know of an alternate way to initiate a sp2 rollback?
Have a read of this:
