ok, i know its a rhetorical question.

From a Microsoft document addressing the issues of XP Service Pack 2:

"Q: Does your Web site launch pop-up windows through other objects
(e.g., Macromedia Flash movies)?
A: These pop-up blocker blocks these pop-up windows. There is no workaround."

Nice, no workaround, and no solution. So that just means when people start to really install service pack 2, a dumpload of websites i've built will have major features that don't work any longer. Simple features like linking to another page. Praise microshit for their incredible insight.
