So far the only glitch I found was, when Windows XP Professional starts the spash screen it doesn't show Professional anymore, it's simply Windows XP.

Anybody else notice this?

Yep, I noticed that too when I installed SP2 on XP Pro. They also removed the "Copyright 2001 Microsoft" and replaced it with simply "Copyright Microsoft". Guess they don't want it seeming too dated if the next one isn't due until 2006.

they did that with 2k sp3, they removed the "powered by nt technology" from the splash.

usualy they just update the copyright date

It has a technicial use, when a system wont boot you can hang it at the splash and tell what version you will need to run a recovery overlay install with the least amount of headache. i just wish they would stop being cryptic and say "now starting windows xp service pack 2" like nt4 did
