Windows

made me happy I develop for linux, unix, irix, *bsd, instead of windows.

that's how it's impacted me.
(and all other non microshaft developers )

Hehehe rite on jaqui :)

Lucky me i didn't upgrade to SP2 because of the initial warnings from every Tech forum and mailing list. I can give you an example at my company.

Some of the computers at my company suffered a virus attack that render the PC un-useable and must be re-install. So we installed with XP SP2. After finish everything seems al-rite but then our Anti-virus program gave out an error saying that XP SP2 doesn't recognize the anti-virus and that the user must install an anti-virus program.

It's like the current one doesn't even exists even though it works,but it's annoying when you see an error on the monitor.
So i stick with my XP SP1a with all the fixes and updates available. So far i'm happy.

how did it make you happy?

You have countless search engines, billions of websites and you come to a tech site to get us to do your home work for you.
