With any service packs there will always be cases of software not working
correctly as it did prior to the service pack installation. This is not the
responsibilty of Microsoft, rather it is up to the software manufacturers to
develop a patch to enable their software to work with this update. It is in
the interest of software manufacturers to keep their products up to date if
they wish to maintain a foothold in the market.
