Comment We're on SP 2, but.... (Score 2, Informative) 492
...Not everybody. I still have two users that have legacy (ie. OLD AND CRAPPY) applications that were a hack to work on XP SP 0-1. I'm just not feeling like pressing my luck right now.
Of course, the people who do run SP 2 have reported exactly ZERO problems. True, I did have to reinstall Office on one lady's machine, but she also had the worst spyware/adware collection I've ever seen, so that probably had something to do with it.
Bottom line? In my experience, SP 2 is not better or worse than any other MS Service Pack. Yes, there are programs that are problematic, but mostly it works just fine. I mean, the worst issue was the pop-up blocker in IE preventing Peoplesoft from making an Excel spreadsheet, which was easily remedied by making the Peoplesoft web-server a trusted site for everybody via Active Directory Group Policy. Piece of cake.
