While the installation of the XP SP3 upgrade has went well for me and it should for most users. A service pack represents a major upgrade of operating system or product binaries and should be performed in a cautious manner.
It's important to read an research all pre-requisites prior to installing. For example, in testing Internet Explorer 8 beta, I discovered it must uninstalled, then apply the XP SP3 upgrade, and then IE 8 beta was reinstalled.
