[Year 12 IPM] Off Topic - Windows XP and Serv Pack 2 Incompatibility

[Rod Kendall]

For security issues it would be better is there was a common OS
platform.

We have not had a compatibility issue with Service pack 2 but we have
had issues with Office 2003.

Cheers

Subject: [Year 12 IPM] Off Topic - Windows XP and Serv Pack 2
Incompatibility

Hi all.
The following has been reported to me - I am wondering if anyone has
experienced this?
We were contemplating purchasing a lab full of new computers running XP
Service Pack 2.
We want to be able to continue using Office2000 plus many more pieces of
software, common throughout the school. Other computers are running
either Win 2000 or 98SE.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks, Keith
