O.P. Feedback on XP SP3
Has anyone installed it yet? Any improvements? Or just a collection of old security patches? Drop your feedback, thanks

I had it on my old laptop that I no longer have and I didn't see any visible change.

I just updated today. I don't see anything changed. All went fine except for the problems I had trying to get uxtheme.dll patched again.

All worked fine for me during and after installation, no issues apart from if you theme uxtheme.dll, you will have to wait for StyleXP or whoever you use to upgrade their software for it *-) I didn't notice any significant improvements to be honest but it must do something for the user :)

The goals of Windows XP SP3 are to:
- Provide a new baseline for customers still deploying Windows XP, to help them avoid the inconvenience of applying individual updates.
- Fill gaps in the updates users might have missed by declining individual updates when using Automatic Updates, and to deliver updates not made available through Windows Update.

I tried to install it 3 weeks ago or so and it said it failed. Then it said that Windows was partially updated and may not function correctly and forces me to reboot...

So then I installed Vista lol.

But surely that means that they don't want them rather than declined by mistake.

Installed it on one of my other machines, seems to be a bit faster in regards to startup and shutdown process.

Main Changes:

- Black hole router detection
- Network Access Protection
- Windows Imaging Component

Hmm the faster startup and shutdown maybe, but when logging in it takes 3x as long :(
