I just went to windows update and noticed that SP3 can be loaded from there and the size of it is 66.9MB. Is it safe to d/l this without issues?
 
Yes!! The automatic update service packs are ok even though they are a fraction of the size of the online one. The reason is simple. The auto update one is specified for your pc (as in bit type) and the ones online are universal! The same thing is installed on both of them so all is good. Dont worry
 
Got it on all of mine now without any problem, but thats just, so far. They could all just get demon possessed and set on fire in 30 minutes.
 
It just popped up for me and the first thing I did is check on here to see if there were any bugs...haha...downloading now so we shall see.
 
I've installed it on about 6 different machines here and not one problem. I read somewhere that there will be a 10% performance gain?

What else is new in SP3?

Early tests showed a 10% performance boost with a certain general app. There was speculation on whether is was to equate to more gains, I dunno what happened.

I haven't installed it yet.
