Windows SP-2

Windows SP-2 is old news. It has been around for quit some time. It is thought to be so important to all Windows XP users that it will become mandatory to have it. There are security patches that insist that SP-2 is installed.

For translators, it is a major pain in the rear-end as the software that they bought will not work with SP-2. Many application either do not have an upgrade path or involve the partition of dineros. The consequence is that these people loose on security or on functionality.

One thing with Wiktionary is that it will be free of charge. It is an Internet phenomena and the only thing it lacks at the moment is cooperation between the different language based communities and content. Isn't it funny that Microsoft's SP-2 is a reason why some translators hope that Ultimate Wiktionary will be a success ??

Thanks,
