Even then I'm reluctant to touch them!  I remember SP2 was a 
HUGE difference, almost like a new OS, and it caused all sorts 
of problems with program/software/driver compatibility for 
many.  At least with SP3 it's much less involved and doesn't 
make any major changes.

I'm not touching any service packs from any vendor until the 
full
release is out. I've seen too many OS's fail completely 
recently with
botchy service packs (and the equivalents on Linux and Mac) 
recently.
