本日、テスター向けにリリースされた"Windows XP SP3 Beta"を早速仕事場の古いPCに入れてみましたが、当初からSP3はセキュリティ・アップデートや例外的なリリース、ホットフィックスなどの公開済みアップデートをまとめて提供するものと発表されていたので、特にこれといった見た目に分かる変化は無し…(汗)
ちなみにシステム情報のスクリーンショットが下記の通りで、インストール後のHDD使用量は約500MB程でした。

正式リリースは2008年前半予定ですが、また何か分かり次第報告します。
【追記】
【Descriptive Security Options UI】
The Security Options control panel in Windows XP Service Pack 3
now has more descriptive text to explain the settings and prevent
incorrect configuration of settings.
【Enhanced security for Administrator and Service policy entries】
In System Center Essentials for Windows XP Service Pack 3,
Administrators and Service entries will be present by default on
any new instance of policy. Additionally, the UI for the "Impersonate
Client After Authentication" user right will not be able to remove
these settings.
【"Black Hole Router" Detection】
Windows XP Service Pack 3 includes improvements to black
hole router detection (i.e., detecting routers that are silently
discarding packets), and turns it on by default.
【Microsoft Kernel Mode Cryptographic Module】
Microsoft Kernel Mode Cryptographic Module (FIPS.SYS) is a
FIPS 140-1 Level 1 compliant, general-purpose, software-based,
cryptographic module residing at the Kernel Mode level of the
Windows Operating System. It runs as a kernel mode export driver
(a kernel-mode DLL) and encapsulates several different cryptographic
algorithms in an easy-to-use cryptographic module accessible by
other kernel mode drivers. It can be linked into other kernel mode
services to permit the use of FIPS 140-1 Level 1 compliant cryptogra
phy.
【Network Access Protection】
NAP is a policy enforcement platform built into Microsoft Windows
Vista, Windows Server 2008 (now in beta testing), and Windows XP
Service Pack 3 (which includes the NAP Client for Windows XP, now
in beta testing) that allows you to better protect network assets by
enforcing compliance with system health requirements. With NAP,
you can create customized health policies to validate computer
health before allowing access or communication, automatically
update compliant computers to ensure ongoing compliance, and
optionally confine noncompliant computers to a restricted network
until they become compliant.
【Windows Product Activation】
As in Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2, and Windows Vista,
the user may now complete setup without having to provide their
product key. They will be prompted for the product key as part of
Genuine Advantage during subsequent use.
