Some experiencing re-start problems. Download/install goes fine. But you just can't re-start your PC...

A tech friend of mine said 15% of Microsoft XP users having problem with SP/2...That's a heck of a lot of folks...

Wasn't aware of that part of the problem.

They aren't even mentioning that , here.

I'm one of them. After ironing out all sorts of crash bugs and conflicts, my machine now takes much longer to boot and hangs at the BIOS screen for a good 30-60 secs before proceeding through the rest of the start-up sequence. God, if only there was a reasonable alternative to Windows (and, no, OSX and Linux don't count).

Will not be installing this!!

These problems are legendary already. Where there is blinding choking smoke, there must be a ....FIIIIRE!

I look at MS as a car dealership service department. Take your vehicle in and it comes out busted up worse than when you dropped it off.

yes, that is another problem. if you shut down, sometimes on restart your hard drive shuts down (like in sleep mode) and your system crashes. There was a patch for that, but it doesn't work.
