Получил по почте диск со вторым сервис паком к XP.. Забавно что прислано из европы, а не из местного представительства мелкомягких..
Есть один старый, но изрядно смешной имхо рассказ в тему:
Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, payed me a visit. As we were talking I mentioned having recently installed Windows on my PC and that I am very happy with this operating system. I also showed him the Windows CD, to my surprise he threw it into my micro-wave oven and turned on the oven. Instantly I got very upset, because the CD had become precious to me, but he said: 'Do not worry, it is unharmed.' After a few minutes he took the CD out, gave it to me and said: 'Take a close look at it.' To my surprise the CD was quite cold to hold and it seemed to be heavier than before. At first I could not see anything, but then on the inner edge of the central hole I saw an insсriрtion; an insсriрtion finer than anything I have ever seen before. The insсriрtion shone piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if out of a great depth:

'I cannot understand the fiery letters,' I said.
'No,' he said 'but I can. The letters are Hex, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Microsoft, which I shall not utter here. But in common English this is what it says:
One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them,
One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
