Microsoft confident on Windows XP SP2 despite user caution | |
|

Microsoft is insisting downloads of its high-profile Windows XP security fix are on course despite a report that says businesses are staying away in their droves. Less than a quarter of PCs - 24% - running Windows XP have installed the operating system's second service pack (SP) 2, launched eight months ago. Forty percent of organizations are actively avoiding SP2 while just seven percent have accepted the fix according to PC and IT asset-tracking specialist AssetMertix. AssetMetrix, who surveyed 136,000 machines running in 251 North American corporations, found more than half of the companies it polled - 52% - still lack any formal policy on downloading and installing the service pack. The vendor warned these companies face support problems in future as they risked allowing multiple editions of Windows XP to exist in their infrastructure. | ||
