Windows XP SP1: no more support
Microsoft has officially stopped supporting Windows XP SP1 as of yesterday. That means that users who want to continue to get security updates will need to install Service Pack 2 for XP, or say goodbye to security updates and stick with SP1. It isn't a huge deal either way, and we expected this right about now, since it has been two years since the release date. Service Pack 2 isn't generally a problem for most folks, so if you haven't installed it yet, you should. I can't see why anyone would really have major qualms with Service Pack 2, except perhaps the endlessly annoying security bar in Internet Explorer 6. The solution to that problem is use Firefox, um IceWeasel I guess. This is a Public Service Announcement from your friendly neighborhood Download Squad.

I for one cannot get service pack 2 to install - I have spent hours on the phone to microsoft and apart from wiping the hard drive and re starting I am unable to upgrade - I am not prepared to do this - it takes literally weeks of work to get the numerous programs registered and set up the way they are required - I will, therefore, remain unsupported.

Another Microsoft issue eh? No problems really. You will be hearing no qualms from me. But I can't help but thinking that with all these issues with Mocrosoft, don't they value their customers? Are they that arrogant? Anyway, I'll be using Firefox from now anyway. As I said, no qualms.
