Microsoft no longer makes the SP3 upgrade avilable. My system hard drive failed and the backup only has SP2. Is there a safe place to download the SP3

Hi:

 

Yes, I found a safe place to get the file...

Select the Download@Author's site link and that is the file directly from the Microsoft Windows Update server which I guess they haven't shut down yet.
