Windows SP-3

I'd completely forgotten that I told my machine not to install SP-3 a few months ago 'cos I heard of dodgy things happening after it was in......just been reminded today and thought I'd ask whether anyone's had any bad experiences with XP after fitting the last service pack, or are they all in the past ?

Eight PCs running XP SP3, not a single problem.

I installed it two days ago and I actually see some improvements.

Likewise, SP3 has never given me any problems - you probably need it in any case to install the subsequent security updates of which there have been quite a few.

P.P.
