SP3 was a problem for me. I intermittently had log in problems after 
applying. The box for typing password couldn't be selected. Ctrl Alt Del 
twice brought up the Windows NT style login and I was able to get in that 
way. It also busted a MMC snap-in for DiskKeeper. After three days off and 
on with windows support I decided to uninstall. I had only one minor problem 
..... it didn't back pedal my MMC version it just uninstalled it. In order 
to get my DiskKeeper working again I had to reinstall the correct (for me) 
version of MMC. With Windows support I went through the process of stopping 
all but seven essential services. They wanted me to narrow it down further 
but I declined as I didn't think that I was my job to troubleshoot their 
problem. I mean come on .... SP3 caused my problem and it was one (or more) 
of seven services that manifested the condition. I still check monthly for 
updates, but review and only apply the ones I need.

BTW: my system has been solid as a rock for over a month now.
