XP SP2 no longer safe

[Xeen]

2 new holes open XP SP2 up for attack despite SP2's "innovative" "Security Center".

I tried SP2, and I have no idea what all the fuss is about.

It's got some really annoying firewall that makes no real difference to crackers.
SP2 is absolete. If I wanted a firewall, a browser with an integrated pop-up blocker and a bloated media player in Windows XP, I'd download ZoneAlarm, Firefox and RealPlayer. It's actually better that way and securer that way.
Because really, that's all there is to SP2, a crappy firewall, a wannabe browser and a bloated media player.

Don't forget there's also DirectX 9 in there too.

As for the integrated popup blocker, it's a total piece of inconvinient shit. It's not as smart as the one in Mozilla and it blocks stuff that it shouldnt.

I don't play games on my computer. And I don't appreciate billy shoving the latest versions of everything down my throat without my approval.
