A Microsoft já havia dito que o Windows XP SP2 poderia causar incompatibilidades com alguns aplicativos. Em um esforço para ajudar os desenvolvedores a entender as mudanças ocoridas no Windows XP SP2, a companhia está oferecendo um curso gratuito de treinamento, entitulado “Windows XP Service Pack 2 - Treinamento para Desenvolvedores,” que cobre as mudanças que o Windows XP SP2 proporcionará ao sistema.
Microsoft said that SP2 for Windows XP might break functionality of existing applications. In an effort to help developers understand the implications of SP2, the company is now offering a training course, “Windows XP Service Pack 2 Training for Developers,” which covers the changes slated for the new service pack.
The company said SP2 will introduce changes to the operating system that will help defend against attacks that come against a network, a system's memory, via email, and via browsers. The training course will cover the changes as well as coding techniques that can be used to overcome problems with applications that don't work on XP SP2 systems.
Microsoft will make available updates to Visual Studio and previous .NET Framework that support the changes that will be made to XP via installation of SP2.
