Windows XP SP3, the final service pack for Windows XP, was released to manufacturing a few weeks ago, and popped up on Windows Update about a week later. Even though the service pack is rather light on actual new features, it still caused a few problems for some users. Despite these problems, some benchmarks show that while SP3 delivers better performance compared to XP SP2, Microsoft seems to have solved many performance issues with Vista, turning the company's latest OS offering into the better choice for gaming - according to ExtremeTech.

I've had no reboot problems (not an affected platform).
One thing I noticed is that after SP3 was installed, Windows Media Player had hijacked the file associations for all of the files it could play. I had to reinstall my multimedia players to make sure everything was working properly. This has been verified to be the case with several different computers so far - not a hardware or driver problem.
