Problems? Yes and No.

Installed SP3 as part of the updates on a customers' machine this afternoon. Went perfectly - sweet at a nut. Got home and installed it on XP Home on my Mac (through Bootcamp) and it didn't want to know.

You just know that when you get down there to take advantage of their Packard Bell package with free Jumbo Jet for £299, there won't be any. You'll then be subjected to sales bull*hit until you forfeit your wallet to buy something more expensive.

I run a small independent computer store, and the horror stories I hear about PC World would make your toes curl. But people still go there regardless. Lambs to the slaughter, almost. We can't buy stuff cheaper than they sell it for, so we prefer to give a better service even if the prices aren't comparable.

The best fun is going down there and asking a Mac-related question, or something frighteningly technical that you just know they won't know the answer to.
