After reading about SP 3, I am still confused about when I can download and install it on my Windows XP Home Edition?  Will it be offered through WU on 4/29/08 or later on in the summer?  ??? 
Should I wait just in case there are problems?

I most certainly will wait, though many are using the beta release of SP3 so there is some feedback if there are/were any problems.

It is going to be a big update much bigger than I can cope with on dial-up so I will wait for it to come out on CD or get a friend with broadband to download it and burn to CD.
