I know this is off topic, so please accept my apologies. This is just out of curiosity, and a number of people I've talked to in the area I live in have said the same thing. About 2 weeks ago, my one remaining xp machine downloaded and installed an update from Microsoft. Ever since then, the machine has run slower than a dead person. I was just wondering if anyone here on the list who still has a xp machine or two running has noticed the same thing?
Thanks
Jim
Yea a little bit off topic I would say. But the thing is you may be on to something as I have also noticed numerous XP machines that are way slower on boot up when they get to the desktop that I administer. This has been going on for about 2.5 weeks now. The symtoms that I am see are when the desktop appears it seems to want sort of hang when opening up any application. They are real unresponsive in nature. Also some client/server/apps take longer (20 - 30% slower). All of these are XP Pro machines. I would not freat over it because XP EOL support is around the corner, unless you have corporate support.
Hope I made your day! This list is for CentOS (Linux) not M$
John
