Re: [guide-user] "Testing" update now "official"

Hiya Clay

the point is, even if the problem is a problem with Guide, your having it not work on 13 computers adds no news, because if they are all running latest xp pro with latest service pack 3, it's the same as if only one xp pro machine was having problems, there being 13 adds no information (although obviously is a great inconvenience to yourself). If there were a variety of OSes being used, the problem might be more general, but if one it might be specific to one set of OS.

Now, techy guys might know more on this, but I believe xp pro recently upgraded to a Service Pack 3 instead of 2, so that might've done something along the way that would only affect the people using the latest service pack, and not many others. And it might be something new Bill isn't aware of that's worked fine before for years, but will fall over under the new service pack, and possibly only in that system setup.

And of course he wouldn't be able to reproduce the problem on his own system if that was the case.

Cheers

John
