Service Pack 2: What Was That Improvement Again?
This weekend has flown by with other projects, so new blog entries have been nonexistant. I had to reinstall some software after my Service Pack 2 annoyed several applications, and I still get the Blue Screen of Death now and then when I restart the computer. At this point, the idea of Longhorn, the future new operating system from Microsoft holds no interest for me. Each new thing they do leaves me with more maintenance, less security, and less confidence and less joy in their product. I just want my computer to be there and be reliable for the work I need to do, and I don't want to have the burden of troubleshooting (or finding someone else to troubleshoot) so-called upgrades and enhancements.
