LOW QUALITY CRAP

LOL! I downloaded SP1 for XP pro, and now my computer reboots whenever it want's to. It's done it 3 times today so far.

Gee, my new copy of OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) is running just fine. Installed clean as a whistle, has some fun new features, no need to reboot yet.

Yes, I switched, and I'm a much happier computer user now.

By default XP is set to restart anytime you would have gotten a BSOD in a previous version of Windows. Stupid design decision.

If you can stay running long enough, you can change the behavior by right clicking My Computer, Advanced, Startup and Recovery Settings, and uncheck Automatically Restart.

It doesn't resolve the error condition, but at least you get a chance to figure out what's causing the error condition.

Here’s the release notes ("errata" list) for SP1-

That's not a flaw, it's a feature (smirk)

I installed SP1 for XP Pro yesterday and see no indications of problems. I'm using a Compaq 5330US 1.7 GHz machine with 512M of RAM. XP Pro on this machine has been quite stable before SP1 and so far (fingers crossed) no adverse results from SP1.
