The patch before the SP problem (roughly, I read
quick) is such that windows thinks
the patch version is newer than SP version preventing
replacement leaving PC in a
reboot loop. I also thought it was fixed by the
release SP but then the issue
happened in RC2 which came after the patch so I'd
assume it's possible to have the
same issue still.
AFAIK removing the patch before applying SP was the
recommended best procedure.
It's just boneheaded that this happens at all esp.
this late in the testing cycle!
