This really stinks - I tries installing SP2 and it killed my computer - I was stuck in an endless cycle of reboots. Now I have 5 days before it starts all over again...

Sounds like Microsoft are trying to get rid of all those illegal copys of XP out there.

You have to call ISP tech support? ................Enough said.

If you can't load SP2 something is either wrong with you hardware or you have some f'ed up software loaded. Load linux and have some real frustration or buy a minimac.

I don't like the idea of MS being able to turn my autoupdate on.I wonder if setting your firewall to block MS would stop it?nLite might be able to stop it also. <a class="user" href="http://nuhi.msfn.org/nlite.html">http://nuhi.msfn.org/nlite.html</a>

This story is nothing but speculation and people complaining or advertising s**t.Source links to a microsoft download page with a ton of fine print where I saw nothing of reference.Buried as inaccurate.
