Windows XP SP3

I've installed it on my PC and so far it's running quite stable. Faster than Vista with SP1 installed
 
Last one I saw that you could download IIRC was SP3 RC1
 
I've been running the release candidate for a month or so now, I almost forgot it was on. There's nothing you notice and speed it probably very similar, shutdown seems faster though. :D

I hope you aren't talking about that useless Office benchmark comparison. Of course it's still less recourse intensive though.

Had RC1 for about a month to, seems to make a difference only on slower computers..
 
Now for people that have SP2 why don't they have a SP3 add-on saving us from downloading what we have.

You're meant to install SP3 via Windows Update (when it comes out), which will only install the updates that you are missing.

The standalone is only for beta testing and installing on new PC's, which probably need the full package.
