Let people make their own decisions about what they want to view -- not Microsoft. That is what I hated about AOL -- and now MS is doing the same thing with their new service pack. They created active X to begin with -- and now they are blocking it by default. Gimmee a break.
Corporations start out with one assumption: for every intelligent person that buys my software, there will be at least 10,000 complete idiots. Need I go further? Since last year when I started working in the public sector with technology, I've had ample education in this respect. Microsoft doing what they did was the right choice. Implementing the new features and leaving them turned off, well, they might as well just have not put them in there at all. Right?

And by the way, web sites can be fixed to work better with SP2. Those of us who know how are being sought after fiercely gotta love Microsoft screwing everything up when it makes you profit!

Anyway, about the pop ups, they should be avoided at all costs unless the user clicks on it and knows there's a pop up coming, and even then used sparingly. Studies with the browsing public have shown that pop ups mostly just piss people off something fierce nowadays, and as such it has become extrememly bad business practice.

If you can get rid of the popups (and I bet you can) get rid of the popups.
