XP SP3 is back up on the MS servers!

  There are links to all of the current builds here and auto update 
should be up and running again too.

Brief Description
Windows® XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) includes all previously released 
updates for the operating system. This update also includes a small 
number of new functionalities, which do not significantly change 
customers’ experience with the operating system.
<end q>

  I just updated an XP bot the other day and there were 93 critical 
updates, iirc. They are all on this ISO.

Seems to work OK on a brand new Dell Vostro, at least.

That would be for the ISO, which contains *everything*. If you do a 
Windows Update, it will only pull what you need. Mine (on a brand 
new Dell) was only about 45 meg.

Please excuse me busting in at this point but just catching up with the SP3 
thing.

Just had a new clean install of XP Home SP2 on my one machine with IE7.
Is there much reason to upgrade to SP3 other than some security issues?
And I see on U2U there are issues during or after update with IE7.

Any ideas on this?

Thank you
