Reply #8: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been testing it...

[Deja Q]

I do not recommend it.

I can't confirm if it wipes out the activation codes, but after installing SP2 all of my media settings vanished and every MS product (office, et al) asked me if I wanted to register (which I said "NO" to upon installing them initially.)

I've had other problems such as not being able to remove programs (Novell client) and lost a system after installing it.

They needed to test it more before releasing it, SP2 is a joke.

So is Longhorn, but at least they're not incorporating the new file system. (if FAT, FAT32, and NTFS proved themselves to be jokes, how bad is this "WinFS" anyway?)
