How I got Service Pack 3 for XP early
NOTE... Microsoft has realeased SP3 for Windows XP, so now you can get it through Windows Update or by downloading the package on the Microsoft Website. Here's how I managed to get it way before it was officially released...
I went to this website and downloaded the command file. I ran the file, restarted windows, then went to the Windows Update site with IE7 (Internet Explorer 7). I selected custom install, selected SP3, downloaded, installed, rebooted, and I had Service Pack 3! Try it yourself! Have Fun. Remember... This command is a registry hack, so it actually makes Microsoft think you're a beta tester, so you might even have early source to other things :). Also remember that the SP3 download you're getting is a Beta Release Canidate.
