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. 🤨 Synetech (talk) 13:46, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Add color requirements

In the "System requirements" table, change all three of "Super VGA (800 × 600) or over" to "800 x 600 with 16-bit color", and change all three of "1024 x 768 or over" to "1024 x 768 with 32-bit color". 172.59.190.90 (talk) 12:09, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
