Most of us aren't running retail software on our home computers, so this wouldn't really affect us, but it's still nice to know.

RE: Feedback on XP SP3
It wasn't released in Brazil yet :(
But I have a question:
I have both XP and Vista, and 99% of time I use Vista.
I always use Firefox, except when a site is not compatible (than I open it thru IEtab). So, I didn't upgrade to IE7.
Will I be forced to upgrade?

No, SP3 only includes core OS updates. IE6 is part of the core XP OS, not IE7.

I still run IE6 as well

It resets your TCPIP.SYS file also, replacing it with a new build perhaps? Anyone know if any patches increase the limit without screwing anything up.

O.P. RE: Feedback on XP SP3
I use IE7 but I prefer IE6 for aone feature. In IE6 I could customize the graphics interface so that everything fitted neatly in one line (address bar+navigation buttons). With IE7 no matter how much economy I apply in the customization there's always two lines (one for address bar, another for the tabs), so it always will occupy more screen real estate.

Only if your XP partition is FAT32...
You're better off trying with an XP CD booted into recovery console
Linux NTFS drivers are pretty mature now, so it's safe to use Ubuntu to patch uxtheme.dll.
