Chris Yanchar on ADT 2005 SP1 Adoption:
“…Unfortunately, over the last 4 weeks, our records indicate only 34% of Customer Error Reports from Architectural Desktop 2005 customers were from users that have installed Service Pack 1.

Additionally, in systems where AutoCAD and Architectural Desktop are installed, 5% have installed an AutoCAD Service Pack , but not the Architectural Desktop 2005 SP 1.”
