[Windows SIG] Windows XP Service Pack 3

[DJ Brown]

Not publically available until Apr 29th. 

If you have a subscription to MSDN or TechNet, the upgrade is
available for download though I hear it's as large as 400MB depending
on the version you want/need. 

Please don't quote me but, memory reminds me that... tests of the RTM
candidates showed a slight increase in speed (about 10%). And, except
for the problems that were reported, the recommendations were mostly
that it was (a) long overdue, (b) greatly valued because it replaces
the 100+ patches since SP-2 and (c) actually seems to work. 

As usual, I'm going to go with Brian Livingston's recommendation (if I
can find it). The first part of which is: "Wait for the early adopters
do the final beta testing for us and then go with the
result/recommendations they advise."

Has anyone running XP upgrading to Service Pack 3?  
 
And if so, would your recommend it and did it speed up your system
any?
 
Thanks.
