    Default Windows XP service pack 3.

    I looked up some info before installing this and I can't say that I'm tempted to give this one a try. What say you? Install or wait a few months so Microsoft can make it not crash computers?

    Windows XP SP3 info.

    Haven't had any problems either. There have been a few service packs in the past that have been real, real stinkers (think WinNT), this one looks to be fairly average, and my experiences seem to support that so far.

    Even though it probably wouldn't affect me, I have an intel dual core CPU and I'm not touching that for a while.

    Why would I use XP for a week when I have Vista on the same machine? I'm not crazy dude.
