I run an AMD 64 bit processor with XP SP2.
This machine has run rock solid for about 7 years now; it never crashes or requires a re-boot and runs 24/7.
After reading that SP3 might compromise AMD machines, and I don't trust Bill, I have decided to decline the update until I have more time for further investigation. (Did I mention I work full time, (two jobs) have a wife, three kids and a dog?)
I have declined the SP3 update and told the updater to not offer it again.
I still receive later dated security and other updates for both Windows XP and Office 2007 in the normal way. My choice is to be notified of available updates, but let me decide which to install.
Works for me ...
