I think they are just stalling so people will have to switch to Vista and also if I read right it only affects the business software of which end users have no need for?? Sounds more fishy by the minute to me....only thing I know I had problem was with Device manager not working and volume properties in taskbar saying I had to have admin rights to use but I am logged in as Admin??? What gives? But I go to major geek and download that SP3 and install it and see what happens to device manager and volume taskbar.
