Personally, I have not seen so much trouble with an OS upgrade since
the Win '98 Upgrade CD fiasco and will not envision installing SP3 on
my home computers until I too have that old comfortable "warm safe"
feeling that all will be ok and functional after installation.

You must not remember all the trouble that many people had with SP2.
I haven't upgraded either one of mine because the desktop is very long
in the tooth (it will be gone sometime next year) and I have another
year to upgrade the laptop.
Of course, you see lots of problems with major upgrades such as this.
Only people with difficulties need to post their troubles.
Jim

Besides, since I will be 80 when support for SP2 dies, I may not need to
install SP3.
Jim

I'm already 80 and have put Sp3 on my three computers without a hitch.

Actually, I intended to install SP3 on my laptop a couple of weeks ago. But
I have been too busy dodging hurricanes to worry about such mundane tasks as
this.
I have decided not to touch the desktop because it is a bit too long in the
tooth and may disappear next spring.
