Got the Microsoft Updates
Got the Microsoft Updates Ready To Install prompt two days ago and ran the SP3 update on my HP Pavilion Laptop. My laptop had been running a bit sluggish lately. After running SP3 I've noticed a remarkable improvement in performance. Quicker boot times, faster response time launching programs, etc.I run Norton Internet Security and SpyDoctor on my machine and am very conscious about keeping it tuned (defragged, virus/spybot scanned, driver updates, patched, etc). I'm a computer security engineer.
If you've been taking care of your computer as well as you do your car or home, most of you won't notice anything but an improvement in performance.
This is my experience.
