The SP2 Thread - Reloaded


Recommended Posts

All to vote MicroZombies off the neowin island?

That might be just a bit extreme, don't you think?

Even though I agree with you 100% OSUKid7, might as well let the dude vent...

In a perfect world, you could do all the things he is ranting about, but, as has been pointed out several times in this thread, MS is a CORPORATION, and VERY SUCCESFUL one at that..Obviously, they do more things right than wrong, or they wouldn't have gotten to where they are now..

Yeah, lots of their stuff annoys me, and when I find software that I like better than theirs, I install it; Winamp, Nero, DiskKeeper, and on an on; those things are ALREADY BUILT into windows, yet I choose to buy/use other software to accomplish those things..

I think its a stroke of genius for them to include versions of all that stuff with Windows; Don't you think eventually Anti Virus and Trojan Protection will be included with Windows, but I bet Norton will still sell all the Antivirus stuff they care to...

I guess it all comes down to choice, as it always does; If you like their stuff, use it.

If not, then try someone else's product...

No Problem - I won't post anymore - This is getting boring anyway.

Yes I know about money - I WORK HARD FOR IT!!!! I am not a Technical Idiot - I have been in this Industry for a LONG TIME - I don't succumb to "News" or Propaganda coming out of Microsoft too easily. From this point onwards if the "Microsoft Corporation" wants to get their hands on my hard earned money - they better work hard themselves to truly IMPROVE THEIR PRODUCTS & start Listening to their Customers. They have to PROVE to me that their Products & their Technology is worth the price that they are asking for it - That my friend is how Business & the Markets actually work!!!!

Hello all, I've been following this thread for a couple of days now, in the belief that someone might actually be posting comments regarding SP2. :rolleyes:

Anyway, my advice to MicroZombie is this, go to the Product Feedback page here (aka The Microsoft Wish Program)

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

and tell Microsoft all your suggestions for future releases. At least that way you will be at least speaking to the right people. In case you don't know about the Product Feedback Program, theres a nice little KnowledgeBase Article which explains it here

How to Contact the Microsoft Wish Program

Can we please get back to discussing SP2 now :cool:

Sure; discussing SP2....

I have noticed it cuts my web speed about in half, so that is NOT a good thing...

I like the changes to IE, and the fact it upgrades security for those not familiar with how to do it them selves...

But, it has some quirks, and I even though I have installed almost all the different versions over the last 3 months, I end up UNINSTALLING them after a few days, most noteable due to they way they seem to slow down my Net speeds;

Plus, MS java seems to not work properly with the latest (2111) version...

Anyone else seeing any of these issues?

:D

God Bless America! Why not use Bold - That is what its there for right!

I want to see a Wintel OEM compete with a Solid Platform like THIS:

Try posting in the Beta forums with regard to this problem, I am sure they wil be able to help.

If you are not in the official beta test, then unfortunately you don't have a leg to stand on :(

In the words of robbie neville c'est la vie ...

    • Those persons has complete control over the internet right now. They do see everything what we do regardless.
    • Everyone and every country who doesn't support Israel's aggression, terrorism and hypocrisy is their immediate enemy. You can definitely see how many innocent people they are killing almost everyday. In fact they're the actual Neo-Nazi who holds Hitler's ideology.
    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.
