Windows XP Service Pack 2 is now making its way onto computers. This major update is a step forward for a company that has had an abysmal record on security, and we should be happy for that much. But it's only one overdue action. Users should also install more capable firewalls, antivirus software and antispyware applications. But the service pack also reminds us of a situation that Microsoft has never properly addressed: the retail/computer security problem.
