At the risk of turning this into a computer thread and having everyone start squawking that we should take this to a computer forum, my only comment is that I also held off installing SP3 until about a month ago. To set up the situation, I downloaded IE-7 about a year ago (along with Outlook 2007) and both have been running flawlessly. I finally got sick of the update thingie reminding me I had SP3 to download so I said the hell with it, bit the bullet and downloaded and installed it.
Guess what? I couldn't tell the difference and other than the fact that it shows up in the Control Panel in the add/remove section, you'd never know it was there. Absolutely no deleterious effect on the functioning of any programs, including IE-7.
