SO who here has upgraded? I did and I find the updated security shit to be mostly trash. Here is why:

1. Everytime I load up windows, it bitches I have windows update off. JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP! I DON'T WANT IT ON!

2. loadup time.....Windows loads a lil slower now, teh gay. It'll load up, but then it takes awhile before it'll let my firewall and shit kick in.

3. Again, about the firewall. It defaults itself to on! So now when I load my comp. it bitches about proggies I have set to load when windows starts and my other firewall hasn't completely loaded yet (Zone Alarm).

Now all I want is for me to be able to do what I want. I want it to stop runnin windows firewall ALLTOGETHER! I want to be able to disable it and never have it turn on or ask to be turned on. Also, I would like for it to shut the hell up about Automatic updates everytime I start my PC. If I wanted yer ass on, it would be on.

Now I can understand this "turn on for the best interest of stupid windows users" BS for XP Home, but please keep it on that. Most of us who seek out professional know atleast a LITTLE bit of what we are doing.

Lets here yer thoughts guys.... [/b]

			Give it up mal - XP is the future. Join us. :devil On a vaguely on-topic note, I can't say I've had any problems with SP2 on my laptop. Sure the firewall is on by default, but you can turn that off through the control panel (there are new icons) if nothing else. Boot time could be slower I guess, but I haven't had my stopwatch out to time it. I rarely reboot anyway - it's a laptop so I just hibernate.

			No problem with sp2 on the 20 computers I have installed them on.

			No real problems. I do agree with you though. Don't bitch at me for having windows update disabled. I refuse to run it. I won't to choose what updates I install.

			Schi, I figured out how to get rid of the bugging, if you look to the left it says "change the way windows security notifies you" or sumthin liek that. Uncheck all of em and it shuts up.
