== No mention of SP2 crisis? ==

How is there no mention of Microsoft going into crisis-mode becasue of all the critical bugs and vulnerabilities in XP causing a PR nightmare, and putting all other projects on hold until they could release SP2 with its massive changes, and even mailed out SP2 CDs for free instead of charging a shipping fee like they normally did? I’d add that myself, but I can’t be arsed to track down sources. I’m just surprised this huge event in XP’s history isn’t mentioned. 🤨 ] (]) 13:46, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
