Yes SP1 is for Vista. I have never used SP3 on XP yet, but you can always try it. They give you the option to uninstall it as well.

I got an update then, which had Service Pack 1 in the title, it was a .NET Framework thing though, I think...
 
Service packs are not limited solely to the actual OS. Several programs will have SP's released for them, .NET Framework is one, another common one is MS Office.
 
From what I understand, the SP3 for XP is a beta Release Candidate, it's not yet the official release. That won't come until sometime in the first half of 2008.
