Beware Of Sp3

Microsoft still has much work to do in order adequately resolve the issues with this update to XP. Among the problems encountered with the update are a possible degradation in the performance of applications, windows failing to open and loss of wireless internet connectivity. On five separate occasions executable file KB936929 was deployed and at least on four occasions a system restore was required to restore pre_sp3 functionality to the system. Advice for now: stay away from XP sp3 if it can be helped no matter how much Microsoft recommends it.
