I've recently installed Service Pack 3 for Windows XP, and so far I can't see any difference. What is the difference between it and SP2?

It contains all (except 1) the updates since since service Pack 2 and contains like 7 new features... check microsofts site for more details.

Shiny new remote desktop thing. Also, an extra tab on msnconfig. That's about it :p

I guess microsoft should have sent all it's customers a pair of glasses, so that the users can read the damn page they are downloading it from.

I suppose there were many people that downloaded it via bittorrent prior to the public release.
