FYI: You don't have to get SP1, 2, 3, and 4.

Just 4 -- it's all inclusive.

WOOT! That means... only 364 more days till I install it.

(Oh, and, MY GOD! Did you see the list of "Bug Fixes"?)

LOL, I printed it out. Only 26 pages of bug fixes. That's a reasonable number of bug fixes for an OS that's been out for three years or so and has had three previous service packs released for it, don't you think?

well, that's only 11 months of bug fixes.

SP3,2,1 took care of another 700 pages

so when i SP5 due out to fix the remaining 20,000 bugs

LOL, yes, but that isn't to mean the SP5 will fix the other 47,000 bugs they'll find in the meantime.

And the ones that will be ignored because of Win 2003, 2005, 2008, and 2109 that they are working on now

I see there are a lot of bugs here in this crowd. Lets see some do life without MS for a while

. We have bugs (not literal bugs) in our cars, our houses or other places of living, the food we get served. Everything in life has unexpected or undesired results. We deal with it. I personally think MS does a great job in getting things repaired. Better than Ford for my SUV, better than some waitresses with the food I get at restaurants and defiantly better than the Illinois government.

Have you hugged your Microsoft professional lately?

My two Microsoft Alumni cents.

That's why I don't buy Ford's, eat out or live in Illinois.

Take it easy Steve Balmer.

We're just joshing around. I know personally MS provides me with a large percentage of my income. Having said that, I wouldn't have left MS. Their average income for full-time employee is over 250k a year, where it's around 20k nationwide.

I wasnt being as serious as you may have thought, I was just being a little humorous Panz .

Actually, I make double now what I made at Microsoft and I do not have to deal with half the politics. I still get to deploy the software I love, but with less strings attached. I can assure you that neither I nor anyone I knew was ever making 250k a year there. At least not after the market crash.
