Re: Share your experiences



Bad pack? Yup, but fortunately it was yanked by the end of the day and I
had not installed it yet. :-) I have never yet had to roll back or
uninstall a SP.

I watch for the SP ev announcements and then install it on my machine. I
look at the list of SPR's that it supposedly addresses and look for anything
that addresses an issue we are fighting. If found, I may install on someone
else's machine. But more often I wait for the official release, install on
my own, listen to the group chatter, and then if all looks fine, start
installing on all machines as the need and opportunity arises. If the list
includes an important issue to us, I am more apt to install quicker.
Otherwise, what's the hurry? If they are happy, why mess with them?

Oh, we have 18 seats that I manage.
