So I blocked SP3 from the four XP computers I use for the next year. I will keep them up to date with other MS updates though.

As for Vista, no thanks, I don’t see any benefit.

It seems most people ran into one bug or another with it.

I’ve seen a few conspiracy theories about SP3 being intentionally bad and buggy so to push people toward Vista.
Some people claim it deletes good registry keys that SP2 installed and all kinds of things like that.
