TechnoLawyer member and IP Memes author Stephen Nipper writes with some helpful tips about Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2): "It seems Microsoft is tired of catching all of the blame every time a new security threat, worm or virus is found, so in SP2 various steps have been taken to better lock down Windows XP. For instance, the firewall and "Windows Update" will be automatically turned on. For many of our offices, the result may be quite a headache. If you don't have a dedicated IT guy/gal already planning the upgrade/update, all you ever need to know about SP2 can be found in the August 2004 edition of Scot's Newsletter."
