Downloaded and installed SP 3 without a hitch.

Except for a prompt at reboot to turn on Automatic Updates (I do it
manually), I did not see any visible functional changes at all. Did see more
detailed explanations in Local Security Settings, however.

After removing the uninstall files (made an image before and after) I found
the total system size increase 'marginally' by less than 40 MB. This machine
is always fully patched and up-to-date.

Boot is a trifle faster now though!

Regards.

If you use the Remote Desktop client - you will notice it is a little
different as well.
