XP - SP3 & Vista dual-boot

Running XP Professional SP-2.
Created second partition on hard drive to install Vista.
SP-3 just released.
Are there additional issues with SP-3 running a dualboot with Vista on second partition?
Should I NOT upgrade to SP-3 given that SP-2 is working well before installing Vista?

I suggest that you do some on-line searching about SP3 first, in light of the severe
problems that are being reported concerning the installation of SP3.

Windows XP just released today SP3 as an update and you can get the stand alone
package or an ISO to make a CD which I really encourage. Be SHURE to turn off all
unused devices and programs before running this. The install is sensitive to having
other junk running. It went well on my machine after turning everything off, but
I had two bad starts. It actually lead me to a bad D: drive also, so you never know
what you'll find. As the final release was just issued I doubt that much else has
been discovered. There were some issues, but that is why they held off till now.
Do things in a proper way and you should find little to no problem. If you have some
non standard setup that has been monkeyed with, well ms isn't the one that had to
manipulate things are they? As always there will be a million people who never try
it and will talk trash and that is all that will ever be said about it.
