Windows XP SP3

I've been using the new service pack on one home and one pro install for a few weeks. No issues here (fingers crossed), but I've read that there are quite a few unhappy campers out in the Interweb:


Any stories of upgrades gone well - or not so well?

Also - I just remembered my promise to occasionally recommend software. Here ya go: Over the weekend, I did a small web project that involved grabbing graphics from psd (PhotoShop) files. Well, I don't have PS, and I don't do enough web work to justify buying it. So I used Gnu Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) to split the layers and capture the graphics, and Paint .Net to resize and clean up the images. Lovely - recommended for all you economy-minded web heads.
