RE: Windows update SP3
they're not going to make "patches" for a service pack.. it already is a patch

your friends probably just had outdated drivers installed for some of their hardware or something

RE: Windows update SP3
The blue screens were caused by HP fucking things up with how they created their restore images. It was subsequently fixed. Just make sure you apply all manufacturer updates before you apply sp3 :).

RE: Windows update SP3
If you're gonna reinstall Windows it's better to slipstream the service pack into your install media rather than installing the OS then the service pack, although it does mean you'll be unable to uninstall the SP.

It generally saves a bunch of disk space, etc, as there are loads of files left lying around after you install a SP. (You can of course always delete them, but still)
