Re: In praise of XP SP3. Yes, really!

I've had only positive experiences with SP3 personally - on my own PC and quite a few PCs at work now.

I've got no hard figures/perfmon stats, but it just feels to me like systems are about 5-10% more responsive after installing SP3. Which is a pretty useful shot in the arm for many of the systems we're running at work (e.g. optiplex GX280 - pentium 4 2.4 GHz).

Also haven't come across any compatibility issues :-)
