Hmm, thanks for that. It doesn't sound too promising.

I may be a bit dense, but I really can't understand why someone would
avoid installing SP3 if the only reason is that he can't uninstall IE8beta.

It's not that so much. When IE7 first came out, I thought that it would
be good, so downloaded it. Installed it and then found that you couldn't
change the options. So I just didn't like that and went back to my nice slim
IE6. But then, get this, IE7 left me with an automatic setting in OE6 that
'compacts all folders' and sends 600+MB's to the recycle bin nearly every
week. That's why I'm dubious about SP3.

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.

The Address toolbar in the Taskbar. I use it a lot as it's very
convenient to enter command names, bring up the cmd console, open
folders, open websites etc ...
One of those "can't do without" things for me.

Because the food's cheap and there's one nearby.
It's utility is strongly debated and will likely leave you in worse
health than you were before you ate their "food"

I have SP3 since it was pushed to me via the autoupdate. I only needed a reboot.
No problem of any kind. Slightly improved stability and marginaly improved
performences in some area. Usualy snappier and more responcive.

If only because, in some neibourhouds, it's the only place around where you can
be reasonably confident that you won't pass the next day in your toilet...
