WinXP Users - Service Pack 3
It's appears to be a 67MB download so adjust your auto-updates accordingly.

What am I missing? If this isn't a significant upgrade then why is it being released a new SP instead of just as one of their many security updates?

Was just about to start a thread on this.
Downloaded it last night and after I installed it, it crashed my computer.
Computer will only now start up in Safe Mode and I had to do a system restore this morning before leaving for work.
Anyone else have this problem.
The Service Pack 2 never did download correctly for me.

Same thing, installed last night, went to bed, just sat on the starting windows XP screen, had to boot in safe mode and uninstall. Hope this [censored]ing thing doesn't get forced by automatic updates, that would suck for my remote users, I can stop it at the office using WSUS though.

Heck of a way to push Vista sales.
Time to turn off automatic updates.
