Microsoft Officially Closes XP Barn Door

August 9, 2004

Hundreds of security holes later, after dozens of worms that have come as close to crippling the Internet as any terrorist attack, not before hundreds of spyware programs invaded the home computers of most users, Microsoft has finally announced the release version of Service Patch 2 for Windows XP.

The rest of the world calls these “bug fixes”.

Anyone want to guess how long it will take to find the next critical security hole (or find one that was overlooked)? I give it 2 weeks, 3 at the most.

I think I’ll hold off on downloading this thing until at least or month so down the road …
