RE: XPSP2 compatability

["Jon Cheuvront" <jcheuvront () nst-inc com>]

Same here, I've been using XPsp2RC2 with no problems, now WinPCAP is
broken and ethereal will not work (I use all day long with the admin
interface for NFR Sentivist).  The only problem I have now is the
service pack will NOT uninstall, how would have guessed it crashes when
I try to remove it.  I'm done with MS, I'm loading Linux and just use
vmware or rdc for the ms apps.

I have been using ethereal for years. I have been using XPSP2 since rc1.

No problems.
