Do you really want to install a service pack that creates more trouble that it solves? Well Slashdot is reporting that 3 out of 5 test computers that had SP2 RC2 installed on it would not boot back up. And had to have BOTH SP1 and SP2 RC2 removed by various hacks and cracks.

| Engineers evaluated a release candidate two (RC2) version of SP2, and upon completion of the install on three out of five systems, the machines blue-screened. A message stated that "winserv" was missing. The blue screen occurred on both Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Intel platforms, and all systems were running Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 1 installed. Every possible avenue to get back into Windows failed. |
Needless to say that SP2 RC2 release date was pushed back untill they are able to repair these problems. Full article? Look no further... |

Anyone ever hear of restore software like GOBACK!?
I'd use that if I were trying something like... Anything from Microsoft!
Seriously, if I were to test RC software on a machine, it's be a machine that I wouldnt' mind formatting afterward. |
