"WindowsXP Professional" display gone

[c888a]

After SP2 upgrade, the original display "WindowsXP Professional" during the bootime is now replaced with "WindownsXP", the word "Professional" simply disappears. How do I get it back?

The year range on the Microsoft copyright is gone too

I'm sure you can just replace the post-Sp2 boot screen with the original one. Maybe someone here who hasn't upgraded can send it to you...

this change was on purpose. why do you care?

Because we're Professionals [censored] it!

does this mean that home and pro features are now harmonized?

I'll send you my original Windows XP Professional boot-up screen. One catch though: you need to tell me where it is located on my HD I've never bothered reading up on boot screen mods.

It's a dumb change, but it *definitely* does not mean Home and Pro are harmonized. Home still has home-only networking and crippled filesharing. ... JDHurst

I noticed this also when I installed SP2, but I don't care since it doesn't affect the functionality of the OS. I don't know why MSFT made this change

Btw - this topic belongs in the Windows forum since it isn't specific to the T series AFAIK.

I noticed the XP version change as well. I installed SP2 on my home systems (running XP Media centre), however have not installed it on my laptop which runs professional. As I use my laptop for all my school work I think I'll leave well enough alone for now anyway...
