Thanks for any comments.
Good question !! Be interesting what others have to say.
I answered it this way to myself... since all my 3rd party software
works good, why take a chance messing around with SP3. I don't
recall reading anything bad about SP3 nor anything revelating neither
so I figured I'd leave well enough alone with my system. But later I
might try windows 7 if I'm up for the challenge, that being in case my
3rd party software is picky.
I use a fair amount of third party software and freeware and have only
found that my diskdefrag program Diskkeeper doesn't work correctly
with SP3. It is strange that if I have a SP2 system and install SP3 I
have no problems but if I do a clean install of a SP3 disk then
Diskkeeper gives error messages and will not run in the background.
