At the risk of roaming off-topic, it should be noted that SP2 will kill
Gateway 500S (P4/DDR) desktop systems; a very attractive bsod upon the first
required reboot.

I've worked on two of these systems (separate owners) and could find no way
to get the machine to accept the install. The only thing I did not do was
flash BIOS on them, as they otherwise worked flawlessly.
