Windows XP SP2 Almost Final

[c4p0ne]

It's already almost august 7th ... where is it? M$ is a load of...

Anyway, SP2 breaks a lot of shit man.. First of all for those of you who use torrent-based downloads, apparently SP2 will slow you down. I'm not sure about that but if you like using Raw Sockets or have written programs that "craft" packets using raw sockets in XP, you can just change the icon of the recycle-bin into a shitty toilet bowl and FLUSH ALL your raw-sockets programs down it. Like to sniff around you're own neighborhood, or even someone elses neighborhood using XP for convenience? TOO BAD if you try to run port-scans after you've installed SP2 it'll be like trekking across Anna-Nicoles never ending belly. The TCP stack is changed man. Changed for the worst.

Once again M$ taking power out of the users hands and attempting to "cradle" them like little teeny weeny infants. Actually on SOME feakish twilight level, I can't blame M$ because there are really TRULY soooo many millions of users out there that are beyond the level of comprehention of the terms "idiot" or "computer morons" that this probably was the only way to protect them from themselves.

Oh BTW, Blink v1.0 (for those of you that use it) is 100% incompatible (so far) with XP SP2. As is the case with fortres's new version of Clean Slate v3.0. Just a heads up on those.. I think we should make a temporary section of "SP2 Issues and Solutions" for the coming wave of crapness..
