So in theory, if you already had the 'SP2 crap' installed on your machine, you wouldn't have to waste time with the same stuff from sp2 that feature on sp3?

Yes, I was just wondering if sp3 takes the time to install some updates from SP2 over itself or just check if they're installed and skip the ones that are already on the machine...

No, it only has one copy of each file which it overwrites, and then marks the security updates between the two releases as installed.

You can actually extract the contents of a Service Pack and be left with an almost complete Windows install folder (but not quite, I'm afraid).
