Where can I find a list of problems with, and reasons not to
install, various Windows XP components and Microsoft add on
products?
I have just updated my systems from Windows XP Service Pack 1
to Windows XP Service Pack 2, but I didn't install a few of the
things that I knew were undesirable in the past.
I know that there were problems with Internet Explorer Version 7,
but I am not sure what, if any, things that worked in IE V6 don't
work in IE V7.
I know that in the past no one want to use Windows Media Player 11
because, at the least, it wouldn't let him have full access to
his own made with his own camcorder. Has this issue been fixed?
(I know that there are further DRM problems, but I don't copy and
use any things on other machines except for my own stuff.)
(It is easy to use Google to see that the general DRM problem
still exists, but I wasn't able to find out if the problem
that caused one to not have access to his own original
materials was fixed.)
I know that there were problems with NET .Framework V2 and V3
as compared to V1.1, but I didn't track them, and I would like
the latest information on what is still broken even with the
latest patches.
I know that various other things that used to work in older
versions of Microsoft Office have been broken at some point later
versions, but I don't know the current status with fixes.
(I have about 3 different later versions of Microsoft Office
that I got with new computers in 2002, 2004, and 2007
but I have been using a version from 2000 because some things
were broken in later versions and I lost track of what the
issues were along the way.
Is there a site that collects things that used to work
with Microsoft software that got broken in later versions?
Thank you.
