Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2

watah SG

Microsoft has released the latest Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 for users to update and install. IF YOU ARE NOT USING THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF WINDOWS XP, PLEASE DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT INSTALL IT!!!
According to one of my friends who is currently working in Microsoft, the update file requires original CD Key and registered version of Windows. If the file detects it is a pirated version then the Entry Point will be lost and you will never go into your Windows when the next time you restart. So becareful when Windows asks you to update your Windows, it is a trick to punish those who are not using original Windows.

Your friend must be one of the unlucky ones who didn't get SP2 to work the way he wanted it to work. Very Happy

XpengX SG

its just a rumour lah. some stories even more exaggerating, like sp2 will format your hard disk if you using pirated etc. but its all rumours.

still, my advise is DON'T INSTALL SP2, its the most irritating "upgrade" ever.
