Thats it...I've had it...I've never allowing MS to install that SP ever 
again.
The only thing that seems to happen when I allow its installation, is that 
IE starts using upwards of 300mb of ram just for thinking about opening a 
page (Opera to the rescue), my displays go all funky and I'm forced to have 
640x480 and 4bit color, with both mirroring the same content, povray editor 
goes all batshit and won't redraw properly, plus other crap that results in 
my needing to reformat or uninstall the SP...

Whats the real purpose of this SP I wonder? To suck so bad vista (or even 
marburg virus) looks good by comparison? To force me to use Gentoo?

I really am starting to think its retribution for those who don't want to 
use vista, to force them to downgrade to vista under the guise of fixing 
bugs and patching security flaws, with just enough of that actually in there 
to make it not completely a lie to claim so..

I suppose if I were a malevolent, souless devil-spawned black void of a 
company, I might just do the same thing.

And I still think ol' billy shouldn't have named his company with the 
description of his twig'n'berries.. ;-D

Maybe it is time for me to check out Mono again...perhaps its more stable 
this time..
