"Clive George" gurgled happily, sounding much
like they were saying:

Right now I don't see a reason to get SP3. It's still too new, if
nothing else.

Hardly. It was released last April.

SP3 is solid. I strongly suspect a driver or app update for the
previously mentioned video camera would get it up'n'kicking again.

There are definite risks in running un-updated. SP2-with-updates is not
"un-updated", until next year when SP2 support is expired.
