Since the official beta download size is 70.6MB, what is the other
266MB in that download for? I've seen several SP3 downloads that
include cracked or pirated versions of software totally unrelated to
SP3 and some that included spyware. The official download is only
100 MB. The betanews download is 336MB. You go figure what the
extra crap is inside that download file.
The download from MSDN is 336MB.

I don't recall the beta download unfortunately - although I seem to recall
it being larger than 70MB. Heck - I cannot download SP2 plus the 90+
updates released after it that should be included in SP3 and imagine coming
close to a number as low as 70MB. ;-)
In fact - it is interesting the size difference you give... 266MB? How big
is SP2?
