SD2 Bad, Very Bad

I started to upgrade XP-Pro to SD-2 at ten this evening. It is now 3:00 a.m.
It only took a few minutes to install the upgrade. Then it took me four hours to reinstall the previous version.

The problem was continuous boot looping. In the time I was waiting for Microsoft to answer the phone, I reinstalled XP in repair mode in the hope I would lose none of my data. It worked, but it was tediously long.

An hour's time was wasted on the Microsoft "SP-2 Help Line" It took 62 minutes for a fella with a very thick Indian accent to answer. He didn't want to know what my problem was, he wanted my personal information and then told me to go to a website for the information I needed.

If I could go to a website, I wouldn't have needed to call.

Linux is starting to look good to me. =30=
