Ken they will have millions of computers downloading it at once when they release it in a few days.

I have nothing to do with the SP3 so why would I host it, besides that it would at least be legally questionable to do so and that I would need to have the service pack in first place..

They don’t want millions of computers downloading from their server all at once.

Why don’t you beat the pirates by downloading a copy and host it on your website so the good citizens like us can download it.

You folks will have to be careful with these “leaked” SP3’s. The ones I’m seeing are ver 3311, they SUCK big time. Guaranteed to crash.

M$ has a bunch of mindless droans working for it, don’t do them any favors and point out it’s shortcomings; the company is heading south just fine all on it’s own.

And they always let those programs “leak” to the internet…
Maybe its a good way to widely test them without having any responsibility and then to correct some bugs based on the feedback of the blogosphere.
Hum… Using pirates to do the dirty work. Shivering timbers ;)
