Since Microsoft released SP3, I decided why the hell not upgrade? So, here I am one service pack upgrade later with a few gripes already.
Since UXTheme.dll was upgraded, I can no longer use custom themes so I’m stuck with the too-bright XP default which has made me turn down my monitor’s brightness/contrast. Hopefully someone can release an updated patcher soon?
There aren’t many UI updates to be seen, so it seems all SP3’s work went on ‘under the hood’. Anybody else at the bleeding edge of Windows releases using SP3 yet?
SP3 is a very long awaited release; as it contains something like 11xx patches/hotfixes for Microsoft’s bug-ridden operating system. For system administrators; they cream their pants over this as it no longer means manually downloading updates/installing them when compiling new images. It also makes it a very quick way to make your computer up to date on an XP reinstall; instead of having to go and download through like 200 fixes since SP2.
Support for SP3 should come through soon enough; even though it brings no “new” changes; its still a very welcome sight to see from microsoft <3.
Dude, you could’ve linked to it!
Some poor people who know no better could’ve download it.
