    They only found it broke one single vague program that nobody on this forum uses and they make SP3 ignore any machines with that software installed.

    Or not. There's nothing in SP3 I need, so there's no use in rushing. I'm already up to date otherwise, and it'll be another month before any patches are out. Why go for it now when the only justification for it isn't valid in my case?

    Just upgraded to SP3. No problems. No real differences.
    Apparently theres a speed difference but im not really taxing my system atm so i dont notice it.

    Speed difference? Faster or slower?

    If there is a speed difference, I'm betting you'd only notice by timing whatever it is you are doing. I've not noticed any changes except my Nvidia tray icon that I never used stop showing up.

    Allegedly 10% faster. Certainly faster to boot for me, YMMV.

    Just upgraded my PC. No noticeable changes, but no problems either.

    Guess I'll be seeing this on my work laptop whenever I feel like updating it.

    Honestly, I'd rather they focus on Vista SP2 though.

    Oh yes, because they're pulling so many staff off of Vista to work on XP SP3, which is out.

    It's pretty unfair to speculate on how much staff Microsoft has allotted to each of those projects and honestly pretty unproductive.
