I could not get the PC to work after uninstalling SP2. I just gave up,
backed up my system, reformatted by drive, and started over, this time
without SP2. Screw SP2. I will never install it. In fact, I hear that a
major chip maker has a policy of not installing SP2 on its own network; there
must be a reason: SP2 is a noose.

Only if your hardware/software is not "up to date" or the manufacturer
decided not to patch their stuff to work for it...
