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 vspope is smarter than i think for sticking with 98SE.

If only more places put out games for OS X at the same time as Windows...

"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.

I like Macs; I have a loaded IIfx within arm's reach right now. (Cost $18K when an old employer bought it, got it for free, has 128MB RAM in it. Long story.)

I have MacOS 8.1 installed on my PC via Basilisk II, but I use it mostly for Maelstrom and other Ambrosia titles.
