    Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 Out

    Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 was released yesterday.

    It puts options in the Add/Remove Windows components box to "hide" Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, and Windows Media Player.

    It does not install the .Net framework as far as I can tell, but Windows Update seems to not display it as a choice anymore after installing SP3.

    128 MB for the full thing. I'm glad I have cable, because I need that to make service pack intergrated install CDs for my company.

    Also, SP3 killed a co-worker's computer - it went into endless reboots. It's XP Pro now...

    Likely you were at SP2 with most of your critical updates. It checks that and downloads the mininum for a complete Windows 2000 SP3.

    The auto-update pops up in the systray asking you to enable it. You can disable it then.

    All I got was another applet added to the Control Panel called Automatic Updates. If you go into that, you can completely disable it
