Is this version the final release of SP3 or is it still in its "beta" stage?

Doesn't appear to be on MSDN yet. I only see RC1, that's the one that crashed for me.

Perhaps it's "rippling" down. I'm in no special hurry, I've already tangled with SP3 in the RC versions.

Is this the final version, or should I say "Is this safe to install?"
