Windows XP Opening Boot Screen After SP2
The only thing that I have weird after install of SP2 on 3 XP Pro machines
is that the boot logo that says Windows XP used to say Windows XP Professional, but now only says Windows XP. Other than that, the first three machines are running just fine post install of SP2!

Home network OK, Wireless OK, maybe better. Boots are slightly slower-normal operation maybe slightly faster. Install uneventful except had to power-off reboot twice during the initial reboot on Laptop. Only other thing different is that default font was reset to Arial in Outlook Express. Dick Kistler

Windows XP Opening Boot Screen After SP2
The modified boot screen is intentional - it's not a glitch.
Honestly, I kind of liked it better before, but... -- Mike Kolitz MCSE 2000 MS-MVP - Windows Setup / Deployment "Johnny Lingo" wrote in message news:PQ7Sc.262696$JR4.258543@attbi_s54...

Does anyone know what the reason for this boot screen change is?

Windows XP Opening Boot Screen After SP2
I'd guess that it was just a consolidation move. With all of the different
versions of XP (Home, Pro, Tablet, Media Center, etc...) it's less resource-intensive to have one boot screen for all of them. -- Mike Kolitz MCSE 2000 MS-MVP - Windows Setup / Deployment "Phil" wrote in message ...

Yeah, I knew it was intentional, I just didn't like the change. I liked the
way it was before. "Mike Kolitz" wrote in message ... The modified boot screen is intentional - it's not a glitch.

That is a deliberate change - to reduce the confusion with things like updates being described as for a particular variant where they are in fact generic, the Home/Pro distinction is being played down. The dates are also removed from the 'copyright' bit -- Alex Nichol MS MVP (Windows Technologies) Bournemouth, U.K. (remove the D8 bit)
