Re: Warning! Do NOT apply XP SP 3!
A lot of feed back from people running business say that they had absolutely no problem updating to SP3 over hundreds and thousands of machines. So I guess its safe now. Any one willing to risk it now, odds are in your favor.

Re: Warning! Do NOT apply XP SP 3!
I have 2 hp computers that haven't been upgraded past SP2 - except for security patches - but neither one will boot with a USB device attached.
In these cases, the bios is set to boot from a USB device even if I tell it not to.
the blog that was posted cited HP's being more likely to have the Boot-Crash-Loop.
makes me wonder...

Re: Warning! Do NOT apply XP SP 3!
OT: but not really:
Installing the latest update for IE7 kills the ability to use the Google Toolbar. It has happened on my office computer and now here at home.

Re: Warning! Do NOT apply XP SP 3!
Well, so far i've managed to upgrade all but 3 of my computers.
One is an HP machine with an AMD processor and the other two contain sensitive work and personal files I don't want to risk yet. That reminds me, I need to get another backup harddrive.
Swoosh! Off to tiger direct!
