Windows XP Service Pack 3

What are your experiences with it? Does it have issues? Have you noticed anything wrong with it at all?

Any information appreciated.

I ask because I have gotten mixed reports.

We're not rolling it out here for a while. An issue with not being able to view images (jpg attachments) killed it for us.

Email?
I don't seem to be having an issue there.

Anyone else? KD? Baron?

I wifes PC seems to run fine with SP3.

So far I've only been testing it on 4 computers one of which being my primary PC at work and haven't encountered any problems.
Though I did have an issue with RC3 where the RDP client would not connect to anything if simultaneously connected to a PPTP VPN connection, but that was fixed prior to full release fortunately.
The new RDP client also saves passwords again too, thank eff'n god!

Oh I should also mention that I was reading some tests done on Vista SP1 which were showing the speed comparable if not slightly faster at times than XP finally. Though, I still don't feel it.

It didn't get rid of my PC's insomnia either! My computer refuses to go to bed at the set time that I've told it to. (1 hour inactivity) And even if I put it to bed, it wakes up on it's own in the middle of the night! Crazy Vista! Beyond that, I've had no problems with Vista. My PC's performance is just enough to play Crysis at full screen with 24 FPS, so I too didn't notice a speed boot with Vista SP1. Perhaps the performance gains are measurable only on specific computers or laptops.

My Win XP SP3 experiences have also been limited to one or, no just one computer! Windows SP3 slipstreaming into a CD for a fresh install failed to recognize my legitimate OEM CD-Key and didn't allow me to complete the fresh install. (Despite the wording on the setup screen that I can press Cancel and enter my key later, Setup refused to continue with the key from me OEM SP2 original media and refused to move along without a key.) I reverted to XP SP2 for the fresh install. From Windows Update, I didn't have any problems with the XP SP3, but from what I understand it isn't a significant improvement above SP2 with all the patches.

The issue with the CD key only exist if you slipstream within Vista. Ran into that this weekend. Was able to slipstream SP3 on another XP system no problems.

Hmm, no problems here with Vista 64. Mind you, it probably wouldn't run or not very well, on my last computer.
