I m also using SP3 downloaded from Microsoft.
but i haven't face any problem, may be because my usages are not so high.
But yes i also read a lot of comments from users that now a days they are facing problem with it

No problems with sp3 whatsoever... i rarely switch off my comp and its working fine.
I also slipstreamed my xp pro setup disc with it and installed without a hitch.

Default No problem

There is no problem with SP3. Happily using it, occasionally though.

As far as I know, most of the problems with Windows (whether XP sp2/3), are due to viruses (and pirated copies). I've never faced a problem in my genuine Windows XP. At home/office, I use Ubuntu, though, for other reasons like productivity. I feel like an old man when I use Windows XP. Yet to try genuine Vista.

SP3 is good for stability n security of system... though some older configurations slow down after upgrading...

Mine is an old laptop (VIA processor, 256MB RAM). It actually increased the speed to a little extend.
