The changes in the way Windows polices itself — particularly the newly strengthened firewall — could cause troubles for applications that are used to working with Windows’ old ways.
Some say that’s particularly true of applications that regularly interact online, such as gaming programs or music services.
Security experts say it’s tough to know how many companies may have to change their products to be compatible.
Gartner Research estimates that a mere 3 percent of applications that run on Windows won’t work once SP2 is out.
But Microsoft’s Goffe says corporations running customized applications could have more complex problems, requiring them to specially configure SP2. Many legitimate corporate programs depend on just the type of interactions that would also alarm the security system.

Forget renguard, it can be updated to work with sp2, the problem is if renegade woun't work because no one will update it.
