Here is a link I've been pointed to.

I've been told it's the official W2k Sp3 (due out next week).

I installed this thing on 4 of my 7 systems and all work fine... the slower ones (P3-800/P3-866/P3-550) seem to work faster a little bit now? On my main system (P4-2Ghz) there is no difference you can tell..

So: go leech and install

If it's a system that you care about then the common practice is 30 days from release for service packs. It's also common practice to wait 15-30 days before installing ANY MS update too.

If it's a test machine or a machine that you couldn't care less about then load away!

Great!

(Did you install it/try it already? If so, how's it working out for you thusfar??)

APK

Installed it on three machines, all three work a lot better as a result, IE6 is noticably faster (screen loading).

The ONLY issue I had was that McAfee VirusScan V5 wouldn't work afterwards :x . Upgraded to V6
