There's also supposed to be something called crash detection, but I haven't been able to trigger it so I'm not exactly sure what it'll do.
Disable Crash Detection |
HKCU{LM}\Software\Policies \Microsoft\Internet Explorer \Restrictions
NoCrashDetection : DWORD |
0 |
0 ? Off,
1 ? On |
The last thing I want to show is the slightly changed add/remove programs
.
This is all a part of the new windows installer that I talked about in my last article. I believe it'll be a great update.
Outro
With RC1 already out the door we're getting closer and closer to a finished product. Even after updating from the previous build there's plenty of noticeable differences in presentation. Alot of the previously documentation is now in place. I didn't have any stability problems in the several weeks of testing the last build and I'm not having any issues with the current build. This sucker is about as stable as a MS product gets ;) This service pack is Microsoft finally taking several steps it should have made several years ago. Better late than never....
Microsoft has created an online training course that details the implications of installing SP2 on Windows XP machines. The course covers the impact on existing applications and includes code samples. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/security/productinfo/XPSP2/default.aspx)
Microsoft's Visual Studio .Net is will not be fully function with this SP. The developer tool's remote debugging feature won't work because of the Firewall. Another MS product that'll break is the .Net Framework. It'll only break in the Itanium and AMD64's with memory protection turned on.
