The official position out of Microsoft on Windows XP Service Pack 3 is, Yes we're working on SP3, and stop asking about it.

However, I'm not thinking this is all that useful since both the XP SP2 successes and XP SP3 failures had Office 2003 SP 3 [/i] installed.<br><br>Did I mention *GROAN*?

This weekend, AVG 7.5 and 8. it.AVG incorrectly flags user32.dll in Windows XP SP2/SP3 This weekend, AVG 7.5 and 8. it.

It's about an even split between XP SP2 and SP3 but Vista SP1 manages to win just about every game test over the shipping RTM version. You can see those results over here.
