SP2, another unsatisfied customer.

I decided to try installing SP2, just for the fun of it. To be
honest, I didn't expect any problems since I've got a fast, up to
date computer with standard hardware -- nothing strange about my
setup at all.

It installed fine from the CD that Microsoft sent me, but then
when I rebooted I got a stop screen, whatever the hell that is ...
some sort of memory address error. Nothing I could do would get
rid of it. I tried going into Safe Mode and turning off some of
the programs that was loading, but still got the crash.

Lucky for me, I had the sense to make a mirror backup of my C
drive just before trying to install SP2, so half an hour later, I
was back where I started ... with a stable, rock solid computer
that has *never* given a memory address error.

Microsoft lapdogs can say what they want about proper preparation
for SP2 and outdated drivers and wonky hardware and all the other
bull**** they come out with, but it doesn't change the fact that
SP2 is a bad piece of code that should never have been released.
