So the final builds will have "xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158" in the ABOUT boxes?
Seems kinda long-winded to me...

silly FiberoN, i will tell you what i told the other guy, you can not predict microshaft. They will tourcher with you as long as you can stand it. You will end up downloading it from the torrent so they can save their own bandwidth, but you will fail to cross check the md5 sums. You will contract a virus. This will leed to a night of bar hopping and drinking. You will then walk to the chineese area of your town where you will pick up fat bar fly asian womens becuase you dont know the differance. You will watch many cockfights in the bowls of some chineese herb store. Some of the other nerds that were shafted by microsoft find you. Bing, the guy who runs the herbshop/super secret cock fight arena, bets that you and your new friends will not engage in a few rounds of russian roulette with a double barrel shotgun. Being drunk and seduced by fat asian prositutes, you accept the challenge of honor from Bing. That is when your life is ended. You blow your own brains out. They then feed your corpse to the pigs that they are gonna fight next week. Your family only finds your computer, with the blue screen of death on it, flashing where their son used to be. They search high and low but never find you. They are overwhelmed by depression and end up commiting suicide. A chain reaction therefore occurs, since everyone can be connected to anyone if they go thru enough people. The shock wave of your family commiting suicide goes out to differant layers. Others begin to commit suicide when they hear of their loved ones dieing. But then, a young boy who played too much doom 3 finds a book, bound by human flesh and written in blood. He becomes a necromancer to ressurect all his loved ones instead of offing himself. The humans that are left are being attacked left and right by legions of unknown ressurected dead. They then flee to the north pole. They will remain there untill the creatures put vasiline over their face so they can walk in the daylight. They are then doomed. The human race is destroyed.

This is seriously uncool. If you cant handle the power than put the keyboard down.

Check this out: I slipstreamed the official SP2 with my original WinXP Pro. I then formatted C: and reinstalled Windows with my new CD. When I did that, the new boot screen (OS loader) has Windows XP like it always has but it doesn't Professional underneath it. Nor is there a date on the Copyright notice in the bottom left corner. What do you all make of that?
Argh, I wish they would just put up a good download site for people like us. I mean, they've sent it to manufacturers already!
This is normal, they've changed the boot screen.Originally posted by: Megatomic

How do you revert back to the original boot screen?
2nd question, does the official release from MS remove the RTM tags from the version number?
I installed it with my stuff backed up on another hard drive to see if it would work and it would not boot. I had to system restore and now it is working fine. My system is the one below. I was the guinea pig on sp2 for all my friends I'm gonna check the drivers and maybe slipstream it.

Uh you need help man.
Well I just installed it successfully on 3 out of 4 machines. The first three machines went flawlessly: my machine at work, my 2 at home). The first 3 had the latest release candidate of XP SP2 installed and I just installed the final release over it. They worked perfectly. The last machine had XP SP1. I installed XP SP2 and I couldn't run any task that had anything to do with Explorer (Web browsing, My Network Places, etc). Luckily I was able to uninstall the service pack through Safe Mode. (I know that uninstalling service packs is not recommended but I figured I couldn't do any more damage. :thumbsdown:
Why is it so large. I thought the the extra 100+ megs in RC releases was do to the debugging tools included in the service pack.
