Research group Gartner has advised its clients to upgrade their Windows 2000 systems to SP4 as soon as possible, after Microsoft announced last week that it would not release any new service packs for the aging OS.
Windows XP users who install the operating system's third service pack will not be able to roll back their versions of Internet Explorer, Microsoft's deployment manager for Internet Explorer 8 has warned.
If you've been waiting for Windows Vista SP1 to come out before you make the leap to the new operating system, don't, says Microsoft.
One-third of business users blame Microsoft for the recent worm outbreak, despite the company's security efforts, according to a poll.
Microsoft has revealed plans to release a third service pack for its Windows XP operating system.
It takes a fair bit of nerve to charge anything to fix up a botched product, but Microsoft's $14.95 price to get a physical copy of Windows XP Service Pack 3 really takes some beating for sheer gall.

Some users shut out of key security upgrades
A little more than one year after its release, Windows Vista will receive its first service pack update in March. Microsoft says the pack will offer better compatibility with third-party hardware, increased reliability, tighter security, and better performance. Our tests disagree.
In the just-released Beta 2 version of Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft mirrors the look and feel of other browsers while adding a few unique features.
