XP sp2, could it be here - what’s it mean for us?

Microsoft Add comments

A number of sites are reporting that Microsoft has at last released to manufacture it’s latest update to Windows XP, SP2. I’ve found as many sites to the contrary as i have to confirm the release so at the moment i’m still dubious. I’ve checked Windows Update and my corporate MSDN subscription but it’s not up there yet - maybe later today.


So, what’s it going to mean for developers, well quite a lot actually! ActiveX, Pop ups, Java VM, file downloads will all be affected. In fact, even on my Pocket PC I now get a “Do you want to continue loading content from this site” whenever i access a Flash site. Microsoft have an MSDN article here that explains some of what you can do and be aware of.
