SP3 - yes or no?

[John Marsh]

I gather that advances in Microsoft software can, occasionally, make a pig's ear of things...so I'm of the same mind as Keef on this. XP + SP2 with a bi-directional firewall, Avast resident AV, Superantispyware, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, Spybot S&D, Spywareblaster and various Sysinternals utilities to keep an eye on activity. No problems, so no SP3.

As it's now full steam ahead with Windows 7, perhaps SP3 could be 'plugged' accordingly? Or is Vista all the 'plug' the new OS needs?
