OK, I've just installed XP SP3 on one box, and it seems to have survive unscathed (unlike a couple of builds I had that were lost to SP2).
The small annoyances were the reestablishment of the program access & controls link at the top of the Start menu (long since deleted as the SP2 firewall is one of the first things I turn off) and Windows offering to screw up my Windows Update settings and put them back to full auto. It appears if you cancel the request it leaves them as they were previously - I have them on notify but ask permission to download and update.
Note to Bill: Just patch the system. I do NOT need my system settings fucked about with. I have them that way for a reason. >:|
