Corporations Shun Windows XP SP2
Posted by Kip Walton on: Tuesday 5 April 2005
Security Networks
Only 24 percent of North American companies have bothered to install the
Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 update, say pollsters AssetMetrix.
The company questioned 251 North American corporations with a collective
total of 136,000 PCs. Seventy five percent of companies have yet to
install the security update. Does this mean future security problems on
the horizon are a cause for concern?
OverclocksClub reports,
"Microsoft allowed a significant period of time to accommodate
companies' demand to test and validate Windows XP SP2 within their IT
infrastructure," said Steve O'Halloran, managing director of AssetMetrix
Research Labs. "Based on our research, a substantial number of companies
have yet to decide whether to accept or embargo Windows XP SP2. To date,
we have observed that 40% of companies using Windows XP have actively
avoided upgrading to SP2, and only 7% have actively accepted it. The
other 52% of the companies showed no direction or policy towards SP2,
and may find themselves having support issues by allowing multiple
editions of Windows XP to exist in their infrastructure.
