Has the final release of SP3 been released? Bit confused with the different versions of SP packs.

The only problem I've had is compatibility with Trend Micro Internet Security 2008, but there's an updated and compatible download on the Trend Micro site (http://www.trendmicro.com/download/product.asp?productid=81) if anyone other than me is affected.

Anyone had success doing a SP3 slipstream disc? Doing it now but it'll take a while.

It is now available, downloaded last night all seems ok.
I have read reports that for those with Automatic updates turned on the icon appears but when you go to download SP3 it just disappears and doesn't download. This did happen to me as well on the first time i tried to download it.
I went to the update site directly and it downloaded first time although it took a while to instal.

Windows XP SP3 fixes the idiotic 'svchost.exe' process memory leak problem. It also slightly faster in some aspects.

Damn, it's only 32 bit with no imediate plans for 64 bit owners. Downloaded it twice from 2 locations and both gave an error after extracting. Thought it might fix my print spool error. :thumbsdow
