Service Pack 2 for Windows XP: Resources for IT Professionals Windows is releasing a new service pack for Windows XP. I read all about it today in PC Magazine (picked one up in the airport in New York). As an early adopter, I can’t wait to update my computer and try it out. I’ve installed Linux on a laptop we have, but you really have to be a developer to use it. I just want a fully-functioning OS that I don’t have to learn how to build to fly. SO until open-source software becomes more consumer-friendly (isn’t that a paradox?!), I’ll have to stay with the more well-trodden paths along the information superhighway.
