All went perfectly well. It took about an hour and a half, needed no
user intervention. Of course, the normal reboot at the end.

FWIW...

You missed all the fun, it seems:

What are doing this weekend? How about watching your PC continually
reboot? That's what some aggravated Windows XP users have been doing
Friday after installing the XP service pack 3 (SP3).

That was my main reson to do it. I wanted to see.
I made a snapshot first. That's really cool to do on a vm, you get
easily back if something goes wrong.

But there were no issues, goddammit!

Then I removed all the $NT stuff and defragmented the drive.
Then I installed Firefox 3 beta and left the vm running.
It's been running since and there are no issues.

I also needed to do this because I maintain a couple of dual boots for
some friends. I have now done that on one piece of real hardware, too.

No issues.
