Service pack woes

Just when you thought it was safe to update your Windows XP and Vista machines with the latest service packs, the company announces compatibility issues with Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System (RMS) that likely will keep both Vista SP1 and XP SP3 grounded for a few days, if not weeks. Sure, only retail businesses use Microsoft RMS and the service packs are floating around out there on the Internet for anyone who really wants them. But as we know all too well, the folks in the C-level suite won't look too kindly upon the IT department installing software that's not officially supported, no matter what the reason. Did you manage to install the service packs before Microsoft pulled them from its website? Are you biting your nails in anticipation of the day when you'll be able to install SP1 and/or SP3? Do you just not care anymore? Let us know in the comments. -Mehan
