Downloaded and installed SP 3 without a hitch.
Except for a prompt at reboot to turn on Automatic Updates (I do it manually), I did not see any visible functional changes at all. Did see more detailed explanations in Local Security Settings, however. After removing the uninstall files (made an image before and after) I found the total system size increase 'marginally' by less than 40 MB. This machine is always fully patched and up-to-date. Boot is a trifle faster now though! Regards. JP -- |

Is Address Bar an available toolbar option for your task bar?

Windows XP SP3 was supposed to be released to the general public via Window/Microsoft Update and Microsoft Downloads yesterday. It was post-poned due to a problem that would mess up some small percentage of users (specifically those using Windows XP to run their small/medium business and some specific software.) For the normal user not running a business off their computers - it likely will not give any issues. |
