Windows XP SP2 .. Big Changes

[JohnBoucher]

Microsoft is rolling out a service pack for xP that might force some of us to rethink our web designs.
XP Service Pack 2
A quick read .....

- Downloadable Files: The file download ability can only be initiated by a user click. Pages that say "your download will begin in 10 seconds" and have an ad before launching the file will now fail.
- Popup Windows: These may now only be initiated by a user action, not automatically, and only one popup will be created based on that user action... so a popup cannot spawn a popup, even if the original was spawned by a click.
- MS Java Virtual Machine: This is no longer distributed. You should direct your users to java.sun.com.
- Browser Windows Alterations: You can no longer do a fullscreen window, it will only launch a maximized window. You can no longer move the statusbar, titlebar or toolbar off of the visible screen.

Should not be a big problem for 99% of the designers here, but look at your code so you won't be surprised.
