Microsoft has been making changes to its second service pack for Windows XP in light of customer feedback. Release Candidate 2 (RC2) of the service pack was officially released on 15 June and feedback from beta testers has resulted in changes both to the user interface and to functionality. "RC2 is giving back some of that flexibility we may have subsumed in the need for better security," said Geoff Hill of Microsoft's premier support for developers group. |

It's a tricky slope, the balance between function and security. Although I'd rather SP2 be locked down tight as a drum but allow the user to undo sections for enhancement.
I don't know if changing their mind this late in the cycle (RC2) is a good idea. |

I had to remove SP2 after installing it. It broke my "My Network Places" access and I had to enter UNC's into an address bar in a window to get anywhere.
May be related to the Novell Client, who knows... TL |

| #6: probably not. MS is backing off on some of the issues that can't be resolved to allow SP2 to be released as soon as possible. |
