Mais um tiro no próprio pé ..... da Microsoft

(....)

Finally, last year, Gates and Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer had had enough: The result was Windows XP Service Pack 2, which, Microsoft said, would patch many of Windows' most gaping security holes.

Well, SP2 is finally here, and it's been one rough week for Microsoft. After telling big companies that SP2 was ready to go, one of the first things Microsoft did was make it harder to get.

Microsoft said that SP2 doesn't play well with 50 or so existing programs. Par for the course as far as Windows updates go, you might say. But unfortunately, the list includes one of Microsoft's own systems management tools that big companies could use to install SP2 to their internal PCs.
