ET> Just downloaded it (really slow and hard)! Three minute download. :) But everyone needs to step back a bit and be careful about this. This is NOT necessarily the final version of SP-3. This is close, and it has been released to MS's preferred customers for what is essentially the last round check before it becomes official. But . . . there *have* been some problems reported (who is surprised by this?), and there may be code modifications. Key Question: Assuming you keep up to date with the critical updates and hotfixes, why do you need to put this in before it's quite official? It isn't going to make your coffee in the morning or make your P-133 perform like a Thunderbird. Do you want to have any problems associated with this, or would you rather somebody else discovered them and they got fixed before you put this baby in? But if you DO need to be the first on your block to have this, I'd recommend STRONGLY that you only do it after you've made a full system image, or if you have enough disk space to run the rollback and select that option when you install this thing. It is NOT official yet. The most noticeable thing about this SP for most users will be that the list of post SP-2 hotfixes in Add/Remove programs will disappear. That, and some programs like XXCOPY are now going to complain about newer DLLs. Sometimes newer is NOT better. :)) There is really nothing here like some of the key SPs for NT4 that dramatically improved some functionality.
