Anybody have SP3 praise or hate to share?

I just upgraded to it last week from XP SP2 Media center. I waited because I was nervous also. No complaints. No problems. In fact it fixed an issue I was having with IE where it would always crash on startup. It also (somehow) seems to have fixed an issue whereby I could not go into hibernate mode correctly.
I'd still back up though just in case.
Also from reading it is a good idea to disable any ant-virus, spyware, or other such utilities when upgrading. Apparently there have been registry corruption issues in some cases with SP3. Afterwards, of course, they can be re-enabled.
