Claudio... latest version of WGA will be installed by Windows Update after SP3 is installed. If you are concerned about what page 11 means, it just means that you can install the standalone slipstreamed version of SP3 without entering a key - that is the complete XP that contains SP3 built in, which must be burned to a disc and installed either by booting into it or from within an existing XP installation - a key *will* have to be entered in due time because WGA will detect it not having one or having an invalid one (if one such was used to install it).

You're confusing WPA with WGA. Yes, WGA is sometimes offered after installing SP3 or if you don't install SP3. One does not have to install it, however.
