Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 on Compaq Deskpro, iPAQ and Armada

3

Introduction

For years, Compaq has remained committed to supporting our customer’s operating system needs. As new operating systems and service packs are introduced, Compaq engineering teams perform testing to verify compatibility on Compaq products. This allows our customers the pick the operating system and service pack that best suits their computing environment.

Compaq is committed to maintaining stability and consistency across commercial product lines. Since SP2 is not a required upgrade, Compaq recommends that each customer review the SP2 documentation and decide whether to deploy SP2 based on individual company needs. Compaq is dedicated to providing customers who may choose to deploy SP2 with a smooth transition by ensuring that SP2 is tested across a variety of configurations for the Deskpro, Armada, Prosignia and Workstation systems.

This white paper provides a list of tested products and, where applicable, known anomalies when using SP2.
