I'm only installing SP3 on one of my two machines. The other one is getting Ubuntu 8.04. The first one will follow before Microsoft drops XP support. Vista is a great OS to convince people to go with ANY other operating system. Even booting Ubuntu from CD was faster than Vista! Thanks for the links!

The reason I ask is that I have several computers with Windows XP Pro on them. If Microsoft drops support for XP, they may also drop all the SP's from their site. Now if a hard drive goes bad and XP Pro has to be reinstalled on a new drive, I want to be able to get all the Service Packs. If SP3 has them all, I'm OK. Thanks in advance.
