Windows XP sp2 forced update  

post #1 of 9

Thread Starter 
Does anyone know how its actually going down? Does anyone have actual concrete evidence that disabling auto updates will do the trick? Is everyone positive microsoft isnt going to come in through some backdoor to force the update?

No. They aint gonna do that. Not everyone has the internet to make that possible. Why would they try wasting the time?

The only people (like all of my idiot friends) who have the hacked versions also have internet access.

Put it this way. If they have SP1 installed there should be nothing wrong with installing SP2.
