Good question, and MS have answered it themselves.

SP3 contains all the fixes issued in SP1 and SP2, plus those issued since, and applies 
a few additional changes which MS say most users won't even notice.

So if your PC is up-to-date I doubt you will see any value.





On the flip-side, as I'm sure you know all major MS releases are "buggy", if only 
because they have to work in diverse cirsumstances on zillions of different PCs - 
in fact the SP3 release has now been delayed as it conflicts with one of MS's own 
packages !

So, unless you have a problem you know that SP3 will address (and I bet you don't), 
leave it for 6 months in which time hopefully those who insist on installing it "because 
its there" will provide the feedback MS will need to make it stable and problem-free.

Or just don't bother.
