Applied SP3 over a week ago on two systems (have Vista with SP1 as backup on a laptop) and have not had any problems yet on any of the programs that I use. Others have expressed reservations.

Did all of mine a couple of weeks ago and no problems yet. I am really on the fence about Vista, have looked a Mac even but now it seems that there are people busy writing hacks and viruses for Macs.

I always wait a week or two before updating service packs. Let them work out the kinks. I'm with you about Vista. I'm seriously thinking about a Mac for my next computer just to avoid Vista. But I worry that Vista might not be able to handle some of the doc readers we deal with. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Installed it on my daughters computer, no issues. Even though both my personal pc's are running vista without issue, I see no reason to update unless you need to buy a new computer.. There is some backwards compatability issues with Vista as far as running older windows programs ..

I installed SP3 on my XP about 2 weeks ago and have had no problems.

I installed it yesterday. It's working fine so I think I'm okay.

I'm still on Windows XP, Service Pack 3 at home and at work.

At work, we'll eventually have to switch to Vista to maintain our support. At home, I'm hanging on to XP like grim death.
