CRN Test Center engineers evaluated a release candidate two (RC2) version of [Windows XP Service Pack 2], and upon completion of the install on three out of five systems, the machines blue-screened.

[...]

[Engineers] had to rename "spuninst.txt" to "spuninst.bat" and execute the batch command "batch spuninst.bat." When that process was completed, a rollback of the Service Pack file should have occurred. That didn't happen.

[...]

After that process finished, some interesting events occurred.

Maybe [livejournal.com profile] vspope is smarter than i think for sticking with 98SE.

"And if a frog had wings, it woldn't bump it's ass a-hoppin'." Nonetheless, I own a Mac, and I love it.

For my pc (which is strictly an entertainment machine), I still use 98, for a host of reasons:

1) it works.
2) It's paid for.
3) Uh, I'm not done playing games from the 90s.
4) Uh, number 2 again.
5) I'm cheap.
6) The install didn't require me to go online.
