My wife had the endless version downloaded through automatic update. Maybe it's SP1, maybe it's a prerequisite, maybe it's some other bugfix. But it's not pirated. Many people will still be unable to get their system back as of now. Perhaps that's why there aren't many complaints online yet. Perhaps you could add at least another one to your total of users affected?
This is NOT fake. Reading what is happening suggests that this is in fact a rollout of a prerequisite for SP1. The symptoms described here are exactly what happened to my wife's machine. It is an endless cycle of reboots and update 0%, every few minutes. This came through automatic update. Whether we are better off with auto update or not seems to be debated endlessly. Whether Vista, XP or UNIX is better seems to be debated endlessly. The original post is not bs, though the headline may be. Why hasn't this reached any mainstream news yet?
