Just another boring pack. The good thing is if you restore your computer instead of downloading those updates with Automatic Update you can get SP3.

And, if my experience is any indication, you'll know when it updates, because the next boot will be a blue screen!

FYI, looks like it will be on the 29th: http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/20...s-xp-serv.html

I'm not sure what that has to do with XP SP3, but it's a funny article anyway.

It has to do because I said it did

I can affirm the above with another news story

April 29th the SP3 will trickle down.

So I just sit back and wait til the updates do it (Early Summer), and hopefully all the experts on blue screen will have worked out the kinks for microsoft

by the time I get mine

i installed sp3 in one computer. i did not have problems installing it or after that. but i did not notice any change in performance, at least it did not slow down that system which runs on celeron processor and intel 845gl motherboard. previously when i installed sp2 in p3 system it was slowed down to some extent prom the performance point of view

All I can say is you guys are brave for going into the unknown for people like me.......I will sit back and wait out the storm that you all so gleefully fly your kites in

I have had a few minor shell glitches left over from some heavy duty malware infections and fixes, nothing major tho, system restore turned on when rubber ducky's startup lite enumerated the run keys

I have a extreme power user setup with minimal startups

the rtm took quite a while, warned me not to use safe mode, it left my system drive quite fragmented
but everything seems to be working better than ever, cleaning out the 83 old updates for sp2 that I had applied helped, a few more tests and I will delete uninstaller folder(400MB)

I am really glad they decided to leave IE7 and MP11 out of it

system restore was turned on for this one tho, I made sure of that

I installed XP SP3 RTM version today and no problems so far. The Internet lag problem I had before with RC2 did not reappear.

EnfoToad · 25-Apr-2008, 07:09 AM **#29**

I will be waiting for it!

**JohnWill** · 25-Apr-2008, 09:23 AM **#30**

If you install it, I recommend the full image backup BEFORE you start the installation.
