Robert,

I'll post to the contrary on this with specific numbers.  I work for a
company that has about 50 PCs (note: I know not as big as the one you work
for) but we haven't seen one blue screen on any of these Windows XP
service pack 2 boxes.  In fact I haven't seen a blue screen since Windows
2000 Professional.  The only time I saw a blue screen on a server product
(2000 or 2003) was when we had hardware problems.
That is specific contrary evidence and not "marketing drivel"
