Re: window xp service pack 3

SP3 seems to improve performance (those are the TechBeta
testers' reports) and networking is better. I like it better
than SP2 for those reasons. You'll probably pick up 5% to 10%
in performance in some tasks. Depends on what you do.

First mention I've seen of a real benefit. Thanks. I am surprised,
though, that MS would spend time on what they believe is an
obsolete O/S trying to speed it up.
