Where can i download XP sp3 from?

Its on windows update. I updated my laptop and older machine a week ago. As soon as you go on winupdate its there at the top saying something like "get SP3 now" (and below it is the normal section where you can just update SP2).

you can still use it for one pc. it's just that you're downloading a larger file than you may actually need - it contains all updates since sp2 - and you probably have most of them installed anyway. for anyone with a broadband connection, it's not an issue. just download and use it.
 
Its always worth installing a Winblows update, as it plugs one of the many holes it has.

When M$ release an update containing security fixes the hackers look at which holes its fixing, and these become the next target points for them. So if you dont update you are very much at risk because M$ has told those that didnt already know where the weaknesses are.

Should I just add you to my ignore list now? Are all your posts going to be of such a rubbish standard?
