Does anyone have any opinions, pro or con about this SP? I haven't installed
it yet. I have Windows XP Home Edition.

My two computers are now up to SP3, and there have not been any problems.
In fact, there should be none, because what SP3 does is install those
patches which have not been installed, and some insignificant features, and
clean out some superflous uninstall folders.
However, you should insure that your computer is ready for SP3 (and SP2 as
well if you have not installed SP2) before starting the update.
My systems were fully patched. It took about 10 minutes to install SP3. It
took another 20 minutes to cleanup.
I did get the CD.
