It's a tough job that is eliciting grumbling from companies whose applications could require major changes — and glee from security experts who say any software product that doesn't work wasn't secure enough in the first place and needs to be fixed.


"I hope it breaks more things than it's already broken," said Russ Cooper, senior scientist at TruSecure Corp.


That's because Cooper believes the free SP2 update is badly needed in the ever-rowdier world of Internet-connected computing — and a good wake-up call for other companies that also need to improve security functions.


"The applications that will break with SP2 were essentially doing things wrong from a security perspective," said John Pescatore, vice president of Internet security at Gartner Research.

So, anyone at HTC worried about SP2 screwing up the game in any way?

I have sp2 installed on 2 of my 3 machines(the 3rd 1 crashed the system) the new firewall is awsome. Th 1st time you run AH it will prompt you for permission, from then on you can run AH without any problems, You can even host H2H with the firewall on. DX9.0c shows an old file error but works just fine, I'm sure that will be fixed for the final relese.
