List of fixes included in Windows XP Service Pack 2

The Microsoft KB article number 811113 - entitled "List of fixes included in Windows XP Service Pack 2" - contains some errors and has a very sloppy structure. We've edited the list and we are sharing this updated document with you. see the bottom of this post for a link to the updated document.

If this list from Microsoft is accurate - how is it possible when even this document contains errors? - then there are 798 total fixes included in Service Pack 2. If we include the duplicate entries, then the list contains 827 entries.

Our work may seem simple and small but it was very time consuming. In order to find duplicates, you have to comb through the entire list. Editing the document is also time consuming. We hope that you enjoy our work. Post a comment if you care to do so.

Just another example of how sloppy Microsoft can be. Remember folks, unlike Microsoft, we don't earn billions of dollars per year. We fixed this document for free. Imagine that! Microsoft even pays people to work for them, yet this document is sloppy and erroneous. Microsoft should have to pay us for our time. If a simple html document is this sloppy, then imagine what the source code of the Operating System looks like. Yikes!

I guess this is how Satya Nadella does things on the Indian subcontinent.
Bill? William? Hello?
Perhaps Mr. Gates could loan us a few million to start a new company.

folder refreshes every minute in Windows 8.1

NEW: We've discovered a problem with Windows Explorer which causes a folder to refresh in a certain amount of time. We've noticed time to be near one minute between refresh.

So far, we've linked the problem to Internet Explorer when it is set to be the default web browser. Our refresh problem has disappeared since we made Firefox the default browser.

let us know if you've had the same problem. Try our solution and see if it helps you stop the madness.

explorer crashes in Windows 8.1

NEW: We've discovered an interesting problem with Windows Explorer in Windows 8.1

Explorer will crash if you copy an empty folder, then paste that folder in atleast 50 other folders.

We do not know if the problem is isolated to particular hardware or circumstances.
let us know if you have the same problem and be sure to include your system info.

Linux not Windows 10

Microsoft is out of control and it's time to regulate this company. You and I have the power to put an end to all of this madness: stop buying their products until they change their business strategies.

As long as we're talking about business, I propose a new law for the SEC and IT legislation: anyone that owns stock of a company must declare such ownership before posting content or comments on the internet. I firmly believe that these lazy basement dwelling individuals are hired by stock owners or they are the share-holders themselves. You will notice the comments that insult anyone that does not own the latest version of software (help me make money or i will say that all of your systems are old and outdated, including the new 8.1 system.)

I will agree that Windows 98/NT and 2000 are old and outdated. XP is the best of the bunch but it is old as well. Vista is nearing an old age. Windows 7,8,8.1 are new systems and will be relevant for the next ten years. You do not need to upgrade your system. In fact, I recommend that you install linux over Windows 10. You can easily grab a bios file and a certificate to install 7 and Vista on VirtualBox.

Microsoft will try to convince you that you need the latest technology for a "better experience" but the truth is in the evidence: take a peek at the source code for Microsoft web sites on a new 8.1 machine. yikes! they still use table tags. so much for html 5 and modern technology, eh?

I wonder if Microsoft designed the kb articles using Windows 10? have you noticed all of the errors?

By the way, i do not want to see the source code of the Operating System. Microsoft cannot even compile a hotfix list correctly/without errors. Imagine what the system code looks like. No wonder it is so vulnerable to hacking. Have you ever noticed how many promises that MS makes on kb articles? keep checking for the promised updated info about a known issue. You will never see the updated info. The promise remains for you to realize that Microsoft is a worthless company.

I suggest that if you decide to load Windows 10 (because you feel bullied into doing so with bios embedded keys and processors ignoring older systems), then learn how to use linux for browsing the internet. Do not use Windows 10 to connect to any network. Use it to accomplish daily tasks but use linux for all of your networking needs. I recommend using VirtualBox but it is not necessary.

We will be posting more about technology so keep checking our blog.
