Microsoft Drops Eleventh Hour App Blocking Into WinXP | |
|
||
| Time: 11:31 EST/16:31 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Viper | ||
|
Although Release Candidate 2 (RC2) of Windows XP is billed as a bug fix, it actually implements a long-promised feature that disables current versions of some users' most trusted software. At the eleventh hour, Microsoft has turned on "Driver Blocking", and RC2 refuses to install a host of third party applications including Black Ice, Zone Alarm and AOL. Users will need to upgrade their applications to Windows XP-compliant versions. | ||

| I admit that there is less bias here than in most Register articles, however... The Register article HINTS that MS may have to certify *ALL* software before it can be intalled on XP. And does not seek comment from MS if this is the case. That pisses me off; not giving me the whole story. |
