==========================================================
Have you installed Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Windows XP? If you have, then you
learned the pain of having added security. If you’ve avoided this, then
avoidance is only temporary. Like taxes, the deadline for blocking the automatic
update of this update is quickly approaching. April 12th is just weeks away.
Speaking of security, last week Microsoft also released the newest version of
their Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) server to manufacturing –
Microsoft ISA 2004. The interesting thing to note about this release is
that it contains the prior year in the name. This goes to show that even though
a year is added to a product’s name, it doesn’t mean that the product will be
released that year. Let’s hope this doesn’t happen to products like Visual
Studio 2005 or SQL Server 2005….
If you are a die-hard Xbox fan, then you will want to take a look at
your Xbox. If it was manufactured before October 23rd of 2003, then you will
want to have the power cable replaced. Apparently, the cable can be overheated
to the point it can cause electrical problems or even cause a fire.
Microsoft is voluntarily replacing the cords on 14.1 million Xboxes.
Microsoft stated, “Fewer than one in 10,000 consoles have experienced these
component failures, and, in almost all instances, any damage caused by these
failures was contained within the console itself or limited to the tip of the
power cord at the back of the console.”
Using simple math and their statistics, 1400 Xboxes could have this issue. If
you need a replacement cable, go to:
