Another mistake. XP-SP2 can cause old software to run

Microsoft recently sent an email to the software developer, which mentions that some of the old programs will not function properly after Windows XP's SP2 installation.

The letter requires software developers to test the software they develop in the Windows XP SP2 Beta environment to determine whether the software works properly, while Microsoft believes that a significant portion of the software will not function properly after the SP2 installation.

An engineer at Microsoft explains this: Because the new service pack is designed to enhance the security of the system, some programs that contain more vulnerabilities will be blocked from running.

The head of Microsoft said that if the program could not operate properly in the SP2 environment, it would indicate that the program itself had a problem with security. SP2 provides a more comprehensive guarantee for the security of the system, including browser security issues, memory read and write protection. The security of network protection and the issue of mail sending and receiving are the problems that the SP2 focus on.

For SP2 will cause some software not to run normally, software developers did not make too many positive response, and SP2 will be released in the middle of this year, whether the need to upgrade to SP2? We will continue to follow up on the relevant content.
