is sp3 safe yet?

[JCO]

Newest report now (something bad comes out every day) is that SP3 installs
an old version of Flash. That mean you will have to go through the updates
and reinstall the updates pertaining to Flash. While this is not a big
deal... it fly's in the face of Microsoft who has always stated that the
latest service packs are fully inclusive (not true now).

Not a big issue but wanted to pass it on.

I wish I had seen this before ! I have AMD and Norton - I lost all my
programs and the "restore point" was no use at all. My data is safe but my
programs have all gone and it is taking a long time to get back. To add
insult to injury Microsoft still want me to attempt SP3 again. I'm very very
very angry.
