Following my tried and true method of maximizing SP2, I have fast and stable results. Thus I now avoid SP3 at all costs and have done clean installs of SP2 on the systems where SP3 went awry. And that was after being very careful and performing a "manual SP3 upgrade". Worst of all in a couple of cases when "upgrading" to SP3 its littered the system with odd files randomly placed. I don't buy into that as I already have a very effective approach in place & have yet to have a security breach. Now while some might argue SP3 offers "better security". I've upgraded a couple of them to SP3 and noticed no real benefit. What I find quite interesting is that all three of the newest ThinkPads I've purchased direct from Lenovo in the last three months have shipped with XP SP2.
