Nick White, Microsoft product manager blogged 'We've heard a few reports about problems customers may be experiencing as a result of KB937287,' wrote White. 'Immediately after receiving reports of this error, we made the decision to temporarily suspend automatic distribution of the update to avoid further customer impact while we investigate possible causes.'"

    What, at this late stage Microsoft does not have a QA department? Or, rather, is it that MS's internal QA department is so used to releasing crap code that they considered this as business as normal. How bad is it--when people (who already know never to buy version 1.0 of anything Microsoft) now think they will have to wait not only for version 1.2 of something MS but version 2 of the Service Pack.

    "8gb of RAM"

    all things aside about the performance and stability of a computer, 4 or even 8GB of RAM to run an OS decently is a crime. Now I know you can run it with 2GB fine if you don't play many games, but even still I'm still happy with my XP Pro with 2GB of RAM and thats all I need for gaming, escpecially since there's not yet any real benefit to directX 10.
