Has anyone installed the XP SP3 pre-release? If so, how is it working?
Thanks;

Some people have and several have reported problems. You
should not install a pre-release version of a service pack unless
you're a member of a test group and have suitable facilities.
So, is that the reason that MS made the pre-release-just-out-of-beta RC
patch available to anyone who wants to take the time to download it?
No, of course not. The reason they made it available is because at
this stage in its development they want it tested by as many people as
possible,

where it clearly states
"This pre-release software is provided for testing purposes only.
Microsoft does not recommend installing this software on primary or
mission critical systems. Microsoft recommends that you have a backup
of your data prior to installing any pre-release software."
Installing beta software on any computer where you would be hurt if
everything were lost is foolhardy.
