Come sempre i Service Packs tutti sanno che servono a qualcosa… si pensa solitamente alla soluzione di qualche bug trovato dopo il rilascio del prodotto.
Microsoft ha da qualche mese due SP per SharePoint 2003, uno per i WSS (Windows SharePoint Services) ed uno per SPS (SharePoint Portal Server).
In particolare gli SP1 di cosa si occupano? E’ questa la domanda che mi ha fatto un cliente ieri, menre ero nella sua azienda peruna consulenza, finalizzata alla realizzazione di un’infrastruttura di document management basata su WSS.
La risposta spontanea è solitamente: “Il service pack risolve alcuni problemi e ottimizza le performance di diverse funzionalità, bla bla”… ma, volendo entrare più nel dettaglio, ho recuperato un paio di informazioni in giro (per i dettagli consultare i corrispondenti articoli sulla KB di MS):
