With a delay of one week, SP3 is out now, since yesterday. However, there are two ways to go:

IT developers and network adminstrators are recommended to download the full 300+ MB package.

However, private users and persons wanting to update just one single computer, are advised to use the windows update function instead, where an altered version of SP3 with just 66MB will be installed.

Most of the SP3 is binding together all patches since SP2, however, small additonal components not previpously released are included as well.

Since it is part of the regular windows update now, you probably will not/can not avoid it endlessly anyway, and some basic system functionality is being changed by it.

Those of you daring to try it early: post your - hopefully non-existent - issues and experiences here so that others can learn from it! Is there any software incompatability like it was with SP2?

P.S. Those of you downloading the full 300MB package - careful, there is still the relase candidate from Decembre 2007 out there, and available from the Microsoft website. Make sure you get the one with the correct date saying 06. May 2008.
