InnovaCrew Begins Limited Deployment of Windows XP Service Pack 2

ROSEVILLE, CALIFORNIA, SEPTEMBER 22, 2004

InnovaCrew, a leading Roseville-based computer and network support firm, announced today that it has begun limited deployments of the new Windows XP Service Pack 2 update to its customer base. This deployment comes after the company's initial advice to delay implementation.

"We've seen several cases where the security benefits of Service Pack 2 clearly outweighed the potential risks," said Josh Jacoby, founder and President of InnovaCrew. "In nearly every case the upgrades worked as expected and the customers experienced minimal inconvenience. There was one case where the computer had a problem that was quickly solved with a BIOS update."

Service Pack 2 ("SP2") has been widely touted by Microsoft as a cure to many security problems. These security issues are largely responsible for the widespread problem of incessant pop-up ads and offensive content appearing on many computers. SP2 is a key component of Microsoft's new emphasis on security. More information can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx

InnovaCrew, founded in 2000 by Josh Jacoby, specializes in providing computer and network support services to small and medium-sized companies with five to 50 computers. The company serves several industries including health care, mortgage and financial services, non-profits, and manufacturing. InnovaCrew has historically grown by word of mouth and referrals, and this represents the company’s first acquisition. The company currently has three employees and has its offices in 1,700 square feet of space in Historic Old Roseville.
