  1. I voted other because I am in a mixed environment. I have Linux, Vista and XP-SP3. At work we are just starting to transition to SP3, but may just skip it and go right to Vista if it ever gets fixed right. On the Linux systems we are running PDN via Wine. Took some doing but we got it going. Reasons: HOME - The first issue of SP3 was buggy. I rolled back till it was stable. (About 6 months after initial release.) WORK - I work for a very large agency, 300,000+(yes really that big), and our tier-1 IT had to approve it first. That took forever since the first issue of SP3 was buggy. BOTH - Autoupdate (wuauclt.exe) does not properly roll out SP3. I run two WSUS servers, 60% of my systems fail to install SP3 (as a WSUS push) for one or all of the following: 1. Have to manually go to MS Update site and update an Active X control. (I so do despise Active X) 2. Have to manually go to MS Update site and update "Windows Genuine Authentication" tool. 3. If Autoupdate downloaded SP3 AND you select "Install and Shutdown" option when exiting windows, systems tend to hang indefinitely. Those that don't hang will report that SP3 was installed, but if you check the properties it will still say SP2 and Autoupdate will keep offering SP3. Bottom line: We still have to go to every system and verify SP3 installed correctly and/or manually go to MS Update site and install it.
