- Errr...? I guess it's one of the internal builds as I haven't gotten an e-mail saying that the beta testing has started.

- hmm a leaked Servie Pack, this must be more buggy than not using it
They cannot be far in to SP4 development yet, so I see this as pointless.
Why try to ruin a stable SP3 install ??? SP4 when finished of course.

- Well.....my first guess is it may force you to uninstall it, or if MS was devious they may have it disable your PC. Something similar to those..... Anyone who actually know this care to clarify?
