Anyone in their right mind will stay the fuck away from Beta/RC/Pre-Release shit from Microsoft. Unless they want to smash their computer with a hammer.

Everything seems to be cool here with the illegitimate copy I updated on my laptop. Probably still best to wait a few days, but it didn't immediately point the "victim of software counterfeiting" finger and/or send the federales to my aid. No nags, still reads "Genuine", windows/microsoft update works fine.

this is the RTM

RTM is a complicated, very technical term, that Microsoft has adopted over the years meaning "Rape the Masses".

Don't fix what aint broke.

Going to wait until they roll it on on the servers... Maybe they will find some issues and correct them by then.

Gonna wait until there's 20 pages in a TW "XP SP3" thread before installing.

what exactly does sp3 have that sp2 doesn't? my shit works great

 

[Rayn]

what exactly does sp3 have that sp2 doesn't? my shit works great

mainly the number '3'.

 

[Lobster]

It probably fucks up XP so that they can push you toward vista

 

[SL83]

SUPER PENIS 3!

 

[KillerONE]

It's pretty much just a rollup of updates. Right now, after SP2, if you hit Windows Update there's close to a hundred updates.

It does add WPA2 and some policy stuff. Alson integrates a Vista feature or two. Group Policy stuff.

It's a pretty tame SP as far as I can tell.
