Upgrade to XP Service Pack 3 Was a Good One

I have successfully upgraded to XP Service Pack 3. It took me about 50 minutes to upgrade, including the downloading of the service pack and the rebooting required. So far, I have had no ill effects from the upgrade.
I haven’t noticed an increase in speed [some people had reported a 10% increase in speed - I haven't]. My computer still runs at its normal speed, no faster or no slower than when I had XP service pack 2.
There have been many reports of the upgrade to XP service pack 3 going as smoothly as a train wreck. Blue screens of death have emerged, registry keys’ being obliterated and constant computer re-boots. To those people, you have my sympathy, but if I’m being honest/harsh, I don’t care as my XP upgrade to SP3 went very well indeed.
If you haven’t upgraded as yet, then please ensure you read my previous post of what you should do before you upgrade to service pack 3.
