A Microsoft pode esperar milhares de telefonemas para o suporte técnico do Windows após o lançamento oficial do Windows XP SP2, neste inverno, de acordo com analistas de segurança. O problema é que o SP2 ativará automaticamente várias opções de segurança, o que significa que muitos usuários terão de reconfigurar seus programas para se conectar a redes sem fio, servidores de jogos e até mesmo suas redes domésticas.
Microsoft can expect thousands of extra technical support calls after the release of its security update for Windows XP this summer, according to security analysts.
The Windows XP security update will turn security options on by default, which means that many users will need to reconfigure their software in order to connect to wireless networks, game servers and even their home networks.
Microsoft faced strong criticism for its slack attitude to security until two years ago, when chairman Bill Gates decided to change the company's software development procedures and make security a top priority. The Service Pack 2 (SP2) is designed to completely change the way Windows XP handles security by automatically turning on the firewall and consolidating the operating system's security functions.
