The Scary Windows Update
Things were quiet yesterday (Sebastian was visiting Teri's mother) when I finally got the chance to install the XP service pack 2. I must admit that I was worried; I'd heard that SP2 had killed some systems, and my system is more vulnerable than most.
But it needed to be done.
I'd heard that it was a 75 MB download, but it was actually 92 MB. At several points I feared that the system had frozen and crashed, but each time it turned out to be just...thinking. After all was said and done I restarted, and a security screen came up. Long story short, the whole thing worked well and seems to be a genuine enhancement to XP - I'm shocked!
