Re: window xp service pack 3

Windows 7 will be no more a panacea for current Windows than any other Windows has been for what went before it. Since nobody has seen a reasonably finished product of course it is wonderful. Duh.

Unless you call DX10 (used only by few games and differences seen only with highest end graphics cards) and Aero (personal perference but no usability added imo) great steps, I don't think XP is outdated.. MS really should face reality and offer both products (Vista and XP) side by side for all manufacturers once SP3 and SP1 are out. At least till Windows 7 is out (which is supposedly good). The best MS product in the past few years imo was Office 2007.. it's awesome

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.
