"Windows xp sucks ass"
Version: Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3 2.0
Pros
what pros?
Cons
Slow and unresponsive, terrible interface, lack of custmizations, and bsod's
Summary
It amazes me that people actually like windows xp (kinda like how people actually like macs).I would rather use windows vista than xp and we all no vista was a disaster. Go with windows 7. It cost alot more (still cheaper than a mac however) and doesn't lock up on you and it is alot faster than winbloze xp (unless you run it on crappy hardware)

"WOW ! What other Users say ?"
Version: Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3 2.0
Pros
It Is great, works great, I have No problems at all but I have an Origiinal IBM Pentium 4 a real Intel system.
Cons
A little But slower by .01 % But No Big Deal, I did not see any change...
Summary
I could niot undersatand why all downloaders of SP 3, Hate it ?, I see No problems with it al all.. Maybe it just does Not like Non Intel systems, I have an original IBM Pentium 4 (intel) it installed great, Ran great and works Fine... I had No problems wih it. But It did make a problem downloading Updates from Microsoft. But that I easily Fixed with 2 commands, and once I did that It Ran Great once again. My pal had an AMD based system and it Crapped it up. now it is a door stop. But if you love your Intel and sp2, Maybe you will Like SP3, I did - But Not too good for Novice user... .

"MS SP3 is not ready for the public. 3/1/2009"
Version: Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3 2.0
Pros
Their are no pros, since my machine went into a bootup loop.
Cons
Service pack 3
Summary
I use a machine that has an AMD processor and my machine worked fairly well and was set up to automaticly down load updates from Microsoft... So when I was prompted to install Service Pack 3 I had no problem doing so, untill about an hour later my machine tried to startup and went into an endless bootup loop. So I can not give you an opinion on it's functionality. Only a Warning! DO NOT INSTALL IF YOU HAVE A "AMD MACHINE"
