Blue Screen Of Death Hits SP3 Installs

Posted by: Newsfactory on: 08/01/2002 05:44 PM [ Print | 3 comment(s) ] · 1557 views

TheInquirer reports that SP3 for W2K is plaqued by BSOD's. If you've got a Promise ATA-133 card, before installing SP3, you should get your body over to the Promise.com site before installing it, otherwise BSOD will be yours.

Another reader downloaded SP3 but said that Microsoft has significantly changed their terms and conditions, with this paragraph: "The OS Product or OS Components contain components that enable and facilitate the use of certain Internet-based services. You acknowledge and agree that Microsoft may automatically check the version of the OS Product and/or its components that you are utilizing and may provide upgrades or fixes to the OS Product that will be automatically downloaded to your computer."

Man, stuff like this just drives me crazy. I downloaded the service pack the other day, but haven't installed it yet. I've got a promise ata-133 card so when I see that link, I figure I should check it out. But there's nothing on the site concerning service pack 3, no updated drivers or bios revisions, no updated faq's, nothing. What gives?

Personally I'm sick to death of Microsoft's junk and unreasonable invasions of my privacy. You can stick it up your *** Gates, I'm switching over to Linux and I hope many others do also.

Man I can't believe the kinda shit they are pulling?
Even if it is in a licence agreement, stuff like that can't be legal, at least not in some countries. I thought USA had some of the toughest privacy laws, yet they allow Microsoft to write EULA's that allow them to violate nearly every one of them. If you thought the Digital Millenium treaty thing in the EU was bad, this will affect more people than ever. How can they honestly justify transparent access to a person's computer to update their software. Once a person has bought a licence to use software, it should be updated only at their discretion.

What do you think?
