I’m sure you’re aware that Windows XP Service Pack 3 is now available. If you aren’t, consider yourself informed.

What changes are in Service Pack 3 you may ask? There are answers.

With a lot of people hating on Windows Vista, you probably will want to download this. There are caveats though. If you fall into these categories:

- Have an application that’s tricky that’s very important
- Have to connect to your workplace via VPN or some other method
- You don’t have Windows XP installed
- Like to have people run exploits against your PC

Then you probably shouldn’t install Service Pack 3. Remember, consult with your computer professional to find out if this is install is for you. If you live on the edge though, install it.

Just keep this in mind, before you go out there and say “Service Pack 3 sucks” try to figure out what your issues are and possible fixes. Anyone can say “it doesn’t work” - a smart person says “this part doesn’t work because this reason.”
